I'm a bit late to the party I guess but I really fancy getting a Tudor heritage Black Bay Black.. I originally had my heart set on a no date sub but at more than twice the price I can't justify the difference.

The Black Bay in black looks to be in short supply, however. Where should I be looking? I travel a fair bit with work which may help find a tax free bargain..Off to Barcelona tomorrow, Munich in a few weeks and trips to Switzerland and Florida in the next couple of months.. What would you guys suggest and will I always wish I'd held out for a "Full Fat Rolex" smile ?

Thanks. I was hoping for a brand new one ideally but I'll get in touch if I don't find one.

I've managed to negotiate 1895 GBP on a new one in Barcelona (on a metal strap, circa 2330 UK RRP). Sound like a good deal?

Yep, great day today all round. The AD was called Rabat (their smaller store on Passeig de Gracia no. 59) Ask for Luis or Joaquim.

I love the bronze but it wouldn't be something I could wear every day. Like the idea of the in house movement on the new Black Bay Black, although I'm not as keen on the new bracelet design (fussy endpins) as much and seems a shame to drop the rose logo. Still happy I bought mine when I did, especially for the decent deal I got.
