New Releases - Available

These new releases from Rolex and Tudor, when are they available in boutiques to look at and potentially buy? If I had a good relationship with my AD and wanted one of the new Tudor releases, do they start showing up next month or is it later in the year?

Availability is almost nil on the 5 link BB from 2023. Can’t imagine the Black one will any better. A dealer in Dubai told me they got 1 a month for all their stores. I could believe it.

That's odd. I was in my AD last month and they were sitting in the case. I'll go in tomorrow and ask when they're expecting the new models.

I forgot I’m on TRF and everything is taken so literally. So in my personal experience of looking for and finally purchasing a 5 link 2023 BB Metas in Toronto Canada. It was next to impossible to get one, up until about a month ago. This included frequent trips to the USA and looking while there. Also tried Dubai no luck. Ended up on chrono from Japan. That being said Oyster and Rubber were in stock many places but the 5 link eluded me till February 2024.

The new models were also available almost immediately last year too (and almost every year I can remember) and the above happened shortly after. i don’t think it’ll be much different. You couldn’t get a GMT for quite a while after release either without waiting.

I’ve picked up a new release as early as 3 months from release and 2 weeks of asking for it! I am not the ADs biggest customer but I’m regular and consistently buy jewelry in the mid to low 4 digits at least 2 times a year.
When I first got my Bright Blue OP41 it was immediately over an email request a few days before Christmas in 2020i believe 3 months after release and I had no purchase history or interaction with the AD prior to that.

You’ll start seeing them in shops by next month for sure but they don’t all ship out at the same time. At least not historically.

Last year the TT GRNR hit ADs in mid-May but we didn’t see any of the new 126 Daytonas until much later. Fall. I believe late Sept or maybe Oct.

Of course, there are no rules and shipments could roll out completey different this year.
