Tudor Harrods Incoming

After putting my name down last November I finally got the call to go collect my Harrods Tudor Black Bay.


I wasn’t sure how the experience would be as I had read mixed things, especially since COVID-19 and the necessary precautions.

Greeting was disinterested at best by the initial assistant, but upon being handed over to the sales person who contacted me the experience was exceptional.

I was able to inspect the watch, have a chat about Tudor/Rolex history, and the usual state of ‘lists’. The watch trying on experience was brilliant, and time taken to correctly size the watch ensuring I was happy every stage of the way. For those curious it’s a low 4XXX number.

They are still taking names down for the watch, with an expectation of around 12 months, obviously without any knowledge of if or when it will get discontinued.



After getting the watch correctly sized we were taken upstairs where my sister tried on a variety of Rolex’s as she’s considering making her first purchase. All in all, we spent about 2 hours with the sales assistant who was engaging and chatty at every point.

Now I’ve had time to see the watch in more natural lighting it’s absolutely beautiful. The green bezel and gilt dial are a stunning combination. I was worried about the thickness of the case but I actually love the feel of it and sits under my cuff perfectly. Definitely a keeper!

Congrats!! I put my name on the list last month. I was told the end of next year. Hoping I have the funds to purchase by the time I get the call...if I can even get to London from the states.

Thanks everyone, I’m definitely smitten, and can thoroughly recommend an afternoon in Harrods. A lot heavier then my DJ41 so it’ll make a nice change.
