Tudor BB ceramic waitlisted

I called my AD thinking I could get the ceramic BB in a few weeks, perhaps a month a the latest.
Turns out it’s waitlisted to about a year.

Is this the case for you?
No pun intended…

My AD has one sitting in the case I believe. It’s been there nearly a month.

I've been to a few ADs with Tudor and haven't seen one in the case yet. I would have tried it on and possibly taken home with me.

That was the story from my AD as well. Maybe people saying they’re sitting in the case at the AD are mistaking it for the Black Bay Dark?

I’m definitely not. That one is also sitting in my AD’s case and has been sitting there even longer.

To be fair, I’m in an area that Tudor isn’t very popular in, and they sell the larger Black Bays more than they do the 58–probably the opposite of most places.

I've seen the BB ceramic sitting in the Tudor display case at an AD close to home. I was surprised to see it there as this was not long after its release.

My AD had one in the back and offered it to me few months back. I turned it down because I was busy with a Rolex. It's a cool watch, they should have just made a bracelet with it. Should def not be hard to get.

There's a list for BB36s on stainless in my area. You can't even order a stainless bracelet from the AD.

Interesting how many people report BB ceramics sitting in the display case. My AD said he didn't think they would be a very high production watch. Maybe demand is just also very low for the watch?

I tried on the ceramic when picking up my GMT. AD stated that was only the second one received since released.

It is now on my short list.

As my AD promised I got mine today.

My dog clearly licks Tudor!

The watch looks and feels great. Love how black it is and lighter than expected, which I love.

I think my wrist is about 6.5" and it fits ok but I am sensitive to knocking my watches into things. Not about damaging them as much as it annoys me.

I don't think I'm going to keep it and it's also because I've been on such a watch buying tear it's getting ridiculous.

I still do love how it looks and everything about it but it's just slightly too tall for me.

Gotta say, after I posted this, I put it back on..It's so light...I think it weighs about 110 grams..It's almost too light for the size!

I'm going to put it back in the box and think on it. My Girl Kevin Biscuit really did like the box, yes Kevin is a girl dog..long story!

You purchased today and already decided to not keep it?

In stock. Seems like the only thing they are hiding is the white chronograph...I guess they think its a White Daytona. But readily available for the asking.

Considering my collection as much as I do like the Tudor Ceramic, it doesn't wear great on my wrist or stand out enough to feel it's a must have.

I've picked up a 126610LV, 214270 and a Black Bay 925 during the last month. As well as three others this year.

This is the only one I didn't get a chance to try on at the AD and had it shipped to me.

That all being said, it's really nice and I could go either way with it.

I was told by a UK AD that the Ceramic was considered to be an 'allocation piece', but it seems that quite a few watches are now hanging around in dealership display cases - perhaps try phoning a few AD's in your area?

Can understand why this watch isn't for everyone, but have to say I love mine.

I think ADs play “hard to get” on this reference. I was just offered one at my AD and politely turned it down. Nice watch but not worth the MSRP IMO

I’ll see if it’s still there next time I go by and take a picture for you. I know last time I went it was around the one month mark and was still sitting.

Again, Tudor hasn’t really caught on in my area. Even when Rolex started to get extra crazy in 2019, a Sub ND sat in the case for probably a week.

Turns out it’s waitlisted to about a year.

Is this the case for you?

My AD has a fully stocked Tudor cabinet in the back of the store with this model on display. There just isnt as much interest in Tudor in my neck of the woods for some reason.
