Tudor 1926 in Heathrow WoS

I was flying back to the US yesterday through London Heathrow and figured I would browse around Terminal 3. The Rolex Boutique on T3 shut down (T2 is still there). I stopped into Watches of Switzerland and they were friendly as always.

I’ve had a deposit on a Tudor 1926 41mm with the opaline/blue dial since last July, and I saw one here in the case! MSRP was £1,590 which translates to about $85 below US list price. I texted my AD to take my deposit and put it towards the Tudor brown leather strap.

Needless to say that was the easiest no-brainer watch purchase I’ve ever made.

unrelated, but I was traveling in Seoul, and they had both dial colors of the Chrono. with the exchange rate it ended up cheaper + tax refund buying in Korea. I bought the panda

this was in the Shinsegae department store, but check them all if you have the time. not much to be found in Singapore the week earlier, but I did get the Doctor Strange JLC there. I've never seen so many watch stores concentrated in one area.

Wow - nice watch but I can’t believe you’ve been wating that long for it - theynare readily available at most Tudor stockists here!

Congrats on a great watch!

I also have a 1926 and put it on a blue alligator strap. It looks awesome!
