Harrod’s special edition tudor

Hi guys
Just wondering about this model
Did the factory engrave the harrods logo on the back or is it like the old tiffany days where the watches get delivered to the company and they do the mods themselves?

My understanding is that Tudor do it from the beginning to the end and Tudor also engrave it. I don't think Harrods would be left to the engraving...

I don't believe Tudor would leave engraving up to harrods at all.

The engraving to me kind of looks like a quality rolex would not approve
It looks kind of aftermarket/ independent engraved

I have to agree that the engraving doesn’t look as if it was factory done. I hope Harrod’s does one in 58 size in the future. I can’t get over the thickness of the current black bay.

I think it is factory done because a guy on this forum had the case back badly scratched on one when it went to RSC recently. He sent it back and they produced a new one.

Amazing watch - my insert and second hand has faded every so slightly in the heat of Saudi Arabia. Cracking watch.

Its a lovely piece and well worth it.
However if you want one brand new from Harrods you have to pick it up in person once it arrives (or ask a kind friend to do it for you)
