Where to purchase a Tudor?

I have been thinking about Tudor Prince Hydronaut 39mm watch with a Carbon Fiber dial (given my addiction/compulsion to buy watches with carbon fiber dials).

I understand Tudors are not sold in the USA, so how would a person like me go about getting one?

I'm quite surprised to hear that Tudors aren't sold in the USA. Tudors and Rolex usually go hand in hand. Both my ADs stock a few Tudors too.

I'd say the only places you could buy one would be via grey dealers online, ebay (shock horror), forums like TZ etc.

I had a Tudor Mini-Sub and really regret selling it, great little watch. I have my eye on another one tho!

You can still get the Tudor line around Europe,but now in the US almost impossible to find, have a look at the Tudor web site.

I have been to the Tudor website, but it is so limited in information that it makes the Rolex website look extensive!

The only information it has is the service center information in various countries, but nothing indicating where the watches are actually sold.

You're in Indiana, so I'd suggest either an internet buy (ebay, other dealers), or you could get one in Canada or the Caribbean, if you're travelling over the winter.

Thats because they are a service centre only,and don't normally have other information only relating to service.

That's odd....any of the annual watch mags say to contact Rolex USA. They give the New York #.
I'm in Toronto Canada and when I called the Rolex office located in Toronto to try and locate a Prince Auto Chrono they could only give me about 3 dealers in th elocal area.
There must be a way that you can order one from a local Rolex dealer.
I would have to assume that if American annual watch magazines promote Tudors the they should be available.
