Expressed interest around the same time as you and haven’t heard anything yet.

Unobtanium in most places. Check prices at gray market dealers, $1000 to $1500 over retail.

I got mine in 7 days from waitlist to the call. I was told that Tudor is ramping production on them so I don’t think the wait is that bad.
Good luck! |

One Sunday afternoon sitting on the loo watching a YouTube review of the BB58 Blue and suddenly got the urge to call the AD. She said there would be a wait but only a month or two at most. Put a small deposit down over the phone.
Got the call 2 days later saying they had one for me. Sent from my SHT-W09 using Tapatalk |

Probably not that long depending on how large your local AD is.
I think Tudor is ramping up. My AD has pretty much every permutation of every model including the GMT (on bracelet and leather) and all three Pelagos (black, blue, LHD). They even had an OG BB58 on the bracelet. |

not long at all.
AD said if I want one max 4 weeks. Most likely 1 week. |

In my part of the world for this piece in SS bracelet (in the words of the AD) ... "I will keep a look out on this piece for you".... hahahaha
Still cannot get at all - lots of people in line.... |

I don’t think they are that hard to get now that the initial rush had died down some. My AD texted asking if I wanted one earlier today. Maybe I’m just lucky.

It seems like there are regional differences in perceived availability. From the posts on the Forum, lots of folks have been successful in the States. However, in other watch "hot spots" like London or Singapore there seem to be extensive wait lists. I could be way off, but this is my limited impression.

My AD had one behind the counter but I passed. I’m not a VIP so I’m assuming it’s not in high demand if it was offered to me. I guess as it is in most situations, it really depends on time and place.

Has BB58 black availability improved as a result of BB58 blue?

I suppose like other new or hot watches it depends on your relationship. I got mine (on bracelet) less than 2 weeks after it came out. There were posts of others getting it say after released.

Not sure what’s the big deal here? This isn’t a steel Daytona, SkyD or BLRO. It’s a fairly easily obtainable Tudor. People are trying to create the illusion of scarcity with this model. It’s hilarious Lolol

I inquired when they were announced then got 3 calls in 24 hours about 2 weeks ago. Ended up getting one for my daughter and one for me.

How hard is it to get a Tudor BB58 blue ?
Quote:
Don’t think it was ever hard. They do sell the second they come in, but I had to get one in a week or less for my buddies wife (as a surprise wedding gift for him) a week before the wedding! Called 3 ADs. Got realllly lucky that one had it in stock that day. Got call from other two within a week or two. For BB blue, it is a little bit harder (I think for right now). I had call out to 5-6 ADs on release day. Got it last week from one (no calls from others). People probably think they can make a buck as I see tons of them listed on various forums. Unfortunately, unless your a top seller, your taking a small hit or your lucky if you get your money back. Once the grey market cools off and people who want it actually have it, I think availability will ease up. |

Obviously anecdotal example but I’m currently waiting on a black w/ the bracelet.
AD has offered me the blue twice since the release and also pushed back my expected wait time on the black I actually want. |

In Poland there hasn’t been even the premier of BB58 Blue yet. Not a single piece in any AD (there are less than 10 country-wide). And the importer cannot even claim the „release” date. So, it depends on geography... |
