Tudor AD in the US...

How can people in the US purchase Tudors? I understand that there aren't any ADs but...there has to be a way, right?

Yea Eddie I'm aware of that, as stated in the original post. It's clear that you don't have any interest in providing assistance so please shift your attention to some other post and allow other TRFers to provide useful information.

Unfortunately, Eddie is correct. Unless you're okay buying through a gray dealer or used, there is no way to get a Tudor in the US.

Cool your jets, you can't buy them in the US unless you go through a gray dealer or buy overseas.

My AD in Hamilton has a display case full of them. I can help facilitate a purchase. U.S. members may also be eligible for PST/GST tax rebates when leaving Canada.

Nick, relax....
Eddie states facts...
You can look gray when they come out or you can go to Canada or Mexico.
There are no other options. You will not be able to walk into a store in the US and purchase the watch, Tudor has no dealers in the US and Rolex dealers can't order them in the US.

Hmmm. the Tudor website lists Dallas and NY as having dealers. Am I missing something here?

Oops...after clicking on the links it looks like they are Rolex service centers...

I heard Rolex ADs can order one for you if you have a good relationship with them.

Hah the easy answer is buy one on the grey market, for example: here, eBay, etc... Very simple to buy in the US - you aren't allowed to goto an AD b/c they don't exist :)

A.H. Riise in St. Thomas which is a Rolex Authorized Dealer also sells Tudor, but that is as close to the US as I have been able to find.
