Bb54

Hi all,

Have come across a BB54 with an engraved case back.

How easy is it to obtain a new case back+ will Tudor want to service the watch?

I wouldn't bother.
MSRP UK £3360.
Pristine examples from Grey (Watchfinder) £2700.
Tax free from European country £2500.

Engraved case back example has got to be £2k to make maths work.
Can you get a replacement case back, no idea. But probably yes during a service.

Good examples are selling for about £1700

Tudor generally services their watches, but it might depend on the specific condition of the watch and whether they can source the parts needed.

I suppose someone needed money quite badly. Definitely well below market. Nice find if it's in good nick and actually genuine.
