Hi folks,

I own a Tudor Black Bay on the distressed strap. It's in excellent condition and still has the protective blue strips in place to protect the watch as much as possible. Comes complete with box, manual and guarantee card which is dated 5.03.13 although the watch has only been worn since my birthday - March 10th of this year!

I have a wedding coming up so I may need to sell this to raise funds and would be grateful for some pointers before I list it!

Thanks

Martin

It'll be less than the price of a new one, I'd say circa £1,750 but depends how quickly you need to sell it.

Good luck with the wedding, but you could always keep the Tudor and give your guests Prosecco instead of Laurent perrier.... thumbup

You've only just got the bloody thing!

It was a gift from your folks, right? That would make it all but un-sellable for me.

I know this! Nah, it's fine, they're happy if it's going towards the wedding.

They might have said they're OK with it............

That's what my folks would have said too but i know they'd be disappointed on the inside. Your call. Is the £1500 or so going to make such a big impact on the wedding? Can't it be borrowed from elsewhere?

They actually bought me an Omega PO just before the Tudor (I know, spoilt brat) so they don't mind that I want to part with the Tudor - going to Vegas - all very last minute so the extra £££ will come in handy ;-)

£1500 - 1700 would be my guess albeit the new blue version might take the shine of 2nd hand values for a while.

Can't wait - we've been wanting to do it for a long time now! Loads of friends have been so looking forward to trying it out! Not sure how I'll manage on the long haul flight though! Hopefully, it'll be somewhere we will revisit year after year! Done New York to the death now!

Cheapest I have seen listed was 1650 on tz-uk. It sold quickly, assume 1600 or so. If you put it on classifieds here for 1700 ONO, it'll go quickly.
