Tudor Bronze DISPLAY Model for sale!
Recently I was in a local jewelry store in New York. They gave out these broad coupons like $750 off of an item $4000 or more.
They have a Tudor Bronze and to my surprise they will take the $750 off. So I can get a new Bronze at a great price but it is a display model. I asked do you have any non-display models. They replied "We don't have any display models!" - So she's basically saying all the models are display models and that is what is purchased. Now it's a great price but there is also one on a certain auction site that's also for a great price that comes with a variety of Tudor straps. I'd like to have it new for the warranty. I'll be abusing this watch so I want to be covered. What do you guys think. I'm I too stingy about the display thing? Also should mention that I'm going to avoid paying Uncle Sam. |

Just found this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87Eucji4luQ He claims it should come in plastic to avoid patina before the owner handles the watch. Anyone else own the bronze? |

My BBB was already patina when I bought it. I think it depends on AD but most I have seen don’t have plastic on the case. There is a tip in this forum how to remove patina. You should try visit other AD and ask how much they can give you discount on this model for comparison. I got around 10% off.

That watch is not in high demand. Grey dealers often have them for $1000 off of MSRP. Shop around.
