Amazing piece, was about to pull the trigger on the standard bronze, is there any way to purchase this piece without visiting Europe?

Thanks for showing the case back.
I really need to choose now between this one, the bronze or the pelagos LHD. But i still have time since I still have to save some bucks before pulling the trigger. I believe those 3 Tudors are not limited edition (aren't they?)

As I have said, I understand the initial allocation is currently SOLD OUT.

YOU need to check with your local Bucherer Store to check availability.

I doubt if you will have a choice - however it is worth trying.

If you are in Geneva even better.....


NOW C'MON FOLKS WHERE'S THE OTHERS??

Thank you

Overall, the watch is VERY cool and a real eye pleaser. I have to admit though, my wrists can't handle a 43mm watch I'm afraid.

I found the Nato didn't help towards the fit of the watch for me.
It seemed very, "top-heavy".

However, having it changed to the supplied leather strap made all the difference in fit. Now, for me, it "sits" securely where it should.

I am having a strap made that should arrive in the next 8 weeks.
Hopefully, will make it feel and look even better.

Good luck in what ever you decide.

Great looking piece. The original Black Bay Blue should have come with this dial color.

Congratulations... you are very lucky to have such a beautiful watch just one week after the release. I'm not sure how big you wrists are but I found that after about a month with the watch (brown) it didn't feel heave on my 6.75 inch wrist. The watch is undoubted heavy though and that doesn't go away. Personally I preferred the NATO very much but I did find it challenging to get the NATO to the perfect size and I also found that it expands pretty easily with just a hand watch let alone a swim.

For strap suggestions, I would recommend putting a high end canvas strap of it. You can even get a strap with similar colors as the OEM nailed the coloring of the NATO.

Enjoy the watch and if can't get over the size...I am CastorTroy3!!!

I will definitely give it a try on the leather today. My biggest problem was, that it was very top heavy. I'm used to wearing 70's Rolex sports watches, that just curl up in my wrist and sit there perfectly.

While not and owner (well, at least not yet...) of this beautiful watch, all I can say is - BIG congrats!!

This BB is clearly a winner and IMHO one of the most attractive pieces from Tudor line-up!
Awesome watch, even better than regular BB Bronze!

To be honest, I couldn't connect with the watch. It's beautiful, the quality is awesome..but it was just wrong on many levels on my arm. But I'm also used to wearing 40mm vintage Rolex.

I sold it to a very good friend of mine who wanted one badly...and had bigger wrists than me.

Had it been 40mm or 41mm, I think I would have found it just perfect

Great watch. Looks great on the Nato. I have the regular version, and thought I would like the leather strap better. Once I put the Nato on, I haven't been able to take it off.

I'm in love. Good news I will be in COPENHAGEN on business Monday May 15. I just called Bucherer and they told me they have a few pcs in!

Bad news they said all their pcs are spoken for, they have already been sold. Not sure how that can be if they are only sold in store. Maybe they mean they have accepted deposits? Don't get it.

In any case I insisted I would still like to pass by. Do you think there is anything I can do to walk out with a piece? He mentioned they have reserved one piece to show to potential customers. Any advice appreciated. What can I do? I am never in Europe and it seems the stars have aligned to be in a city with a bucherer boutique.

It may sound a little obvious and I apologise...However, I always
find being extremely polite and courteous goes along way, especially
in Europe.

Don't expect one, and you may just be surprised.

Just think of all the other folks contacting them

Again, sorry if this sounds obvious.

Thanks! I'm not from here and in my part of the world, your advice won't get me very far. Sure, being nice would be appreciated, but won't necessarily yield results. It's good to know the lay of the land here and that alone may put me in a position to be lucky. I will be nice polite and respectful and will post the experience here on Monday. Fingers crossed everyone.

And how many times do you think they are presented with this scenario?

However, how the cash is offered may be the key.
