Having seen a couple sell this week for £6-7k I don’t think it’ll ever be a MSRP piece to be fair.

Was in Harrodsburg yesterday on the list. Looks lovely in the flesh as well. Fingers crossed

Harrods Black Bay
 
There is a Harrods Black Bay LE on eBay just now and the seller wants £11,250 ($14,000) for it!!! That’s more than some sellers are trying to get for their Sea-Dweller 43!
It’s an ok version but surely no one would be crazy enough to spend that much on one. Only 100 have been sold but expect that more will be released again for the same retail price as the standard BB.
They have added a green bezel, green tipped second hand and a Harrods branded case back but stopped short of adding a matching green aluminium crown spacer and a bespoke green fabric strap.
Has anyone seen any others on the grey market and what price were they asking?

If only it was 11.3k I would have atleast been interested but at 11.5k I need to tap out :dummy:

Honestly I'm interested in the BB but I prefer the rose logo over the shield and the smiley text. I'll pass for an eta BBR.

I think I’ll pass on this one as I heard there is Macy’s edition in the pipeline.

Yup, that's correct. Received an eBay email saying the Seller just drop the price down to £8K !

p/s : Oh Yeah! The Seller is indeed monitoring this thread very closely and reading the many comments posted by readers [emoji136]

My thoughts are they will keep making them. They have a winner and I don’t see why they’d limit production after the numbered set runs out. They didn’t with the LHD and that isn’t even nearly as popular.

Maybe just me being optimistic I can get one later on :chuckle:

This may be old news but I found out this week that the first 100 limited editions haven't all been picked up yet. They are still in the 80 of 100 range. The main edition watches will take some time unfortunately.

As much as I like the colouring, I'm not so sure about the rivet bracelet.

The bracelet is better than a Nato, because the watch case is way too thick to accommodate a Nato strap - and looking good.

I bought a black bay in Harrods this year but sadly it was only a Bronze! It is rare enough.

Mr gadget 13 January 2018 06:28 PM

The one on ebay ebay for £8000 has been sold. Wow

Miexpeman 13 January 2018 08:01 PM

Sold for £8k! Really? I thought the listing had just ended. Couldn't see that any bids had been placed.

when I looked on the item it said that it had been sold.

good luck,,,
£8k is not extortionate for what will become a rare piece [the numbered editions] imho,,,,,,
Good price for a very,very, limited piece,,,
bearing in mind £8k woudnt get a used a blnr at the grays,,,
i am going to try and have a go at getting futher up the list or snagging one of those that have yet to be "picked up" on Monday,
you never know? right call at the right time,a little bit of luck:chuckle:,,,,,,
I dont actually think i have the slightest chance of a great outcome by one can only try,,,,lol
so i will remain patient when i fail :chuckle: but if i was to get very lucky
then trf will one of the first to know,,,,,

Stevec14 14 January 2018 06:43 AM

It’s a lovely watch, but at 8k you could buy a decent shape Kermit. No real contest for me at least.

But at 2.6k, an absolute steal I think.

fleabag 14 January 2018 07:59 PM

A tad expensive I’d say , I’d rather have another 16610lv too [emoji106]

I agree .:thumbsup:

100thmonkey 15 January 2018 03:54 AM

A lot of comments along the lines of ‘you could get this for £8k’. But most you have mentioned are all mainstream produced the the thousands and thousand regular production pieces.

That’s true. Whether what you say makes a 2.5k watch worth 8k is another matter however, and I guess a subjective choice.

I should point out, I am not knocking the watch itself.

I was under the impression the one I was commenting on was the one that sold for 8k. What’s yours up for?

kwingy 15 January 2018 08:20 AM

Blowers have one selling for £6.5k at the moment, still too much if you ask me.

Was this post serious? Just curious because I didn't know that Macy*s even carried Tudor. Unless there's a collab coming. Also I'd suspect it would only be at flashship Macy*s stores.
