Harrods’ Black Bay LE?

Saw this on Instagram, can’t find confirmation from Harrods’. Real or not, I think the green looks awesome.

i really like that. That would be my first choice of BB's. Good thing i live in London as if its real I am checking that out

I wonder if the pricing is the same as the other BB's... got to figure out how many Harrods rewards points that is.

Just saw this as well on instagram! Does this mean it’s a special edition or a normal production run only available at Harrods?

Damned Black Bays propagate more than mice...Just what I need, a third one.

FWIW, nothing related shows up on their site when searching Tudor Watch. There is an AP however.

What's up with all these watch manufacturers trying to suck up to ADs? Are they trying to ride the Tiffany & Co meme train?

Tudor BB Green for Harrods
Tudor BB Bronze Blue for Bucherer
Oris 65 for Topper Jewelers
Nomos Orion for Ace Jewelers
Zenith El Primero for Timeless Luxury Watches

What I'd like to see is a DavidSW Limited Edition lmao

Oh, sweet. Let's make another cool variant that people want and make it limited to one specific store. Let's then go further and probably limit it to like 500 pieces or so, and put restrictions so you have to be related to the Queen's uncle to buy one, and also sign a contract in blood that you'll never sell it, and make sure they take off the stickers...and...


But seriously. I would buy a green BB. If it's real, they need to knock off the "special edition" BS...

All this reminds me of Porsche...they do very similar stuff. Just with cars rather than watches. Although I hate it....it seems to work REALLY well for them

It is a nice hue of green. It reminds me of the 16610lv (kermit) that is so sought after at the moment. Perhaps a small dedication to that watch .

if thats true, i would question the point. Obviously they were going to sell out at some point but if they passed the display case all together its odd. Generally i would think a Store/AD exclusive is to get traffic in the door (not that harrods has that problem) but in any case you can't really use the "exclusive" release to advertise the fact you have them if they are all sold.

"Come to Harrods we had an exclusive Tudor release, sort of"

I believe that it is to launch the new and improved watch room which opens also on the 25th

Damn if this is true then I am gutted! I was reading the comments on the insta post and they said a lot had been sold but if demand is high they might increase the numbers in production.

Either way I am going to call them tomorrow and try my luck.

Its the exact same shade of green as the leash and collar set I bought for my dog from them. Even the gold color details matches the brass hardware. I'm going to tell my wife I NEED to have that watch to match the leash when I am walking my dog!
