Tudor is making a killing in the US. Should have been here years ago.

I guess that put a dent on "1300$ in the Rolex Fund. 3500 to go.... "

Sounds like a good price, ebay sellers are still dreaming of $3K plus.

That's a hell of a price for such a nice watch. Nothing can really compete in that price range.

What's the list price on a black bay in USD? Is there a Tudor price guide out in USD?

You have a choice of either the distressed leather strap with deployant or metal bracelet. But, both options come with the fabric strap.

I had read from a reader on this forum that the price of Black Bay was $ 3,425 and $ 3,100 on the strap. You told us you've got a $ 2850 that's a discount of 17%. It seems that the discounts get for Tudor have nothing to do with Rolex that you can never get a discount.

I dont get how i got this discount, but i took it running
They did tell me one thing. They charge more for american tourists, cause apparently they were coming in size to get the watch.
2850 is what i got for the steel version not leather.

They were also generously discounting the sub

The Black Bay is really nice. I have been warming up to the idea of having one. I normally wouldn't have given it a second look even a month ago. But something snapped and I have changed my mind.

Same for the Pelagos, though I like the BB even better.
