Hi all,

Does anyone know if these will be a “waiting list” type purchase?

A couple on eBay for double the rrp.

Looks a stunning watch that fits right in to my budget as well as being different to my current daily watches. I just don’t want to wait forever!

I have seen a few places doing pre-order on them and they seem a good price. The only real waiting I've heard on Tudor is the new chronographs and the ceramic black bay and goldsmith's stated around 6 month for the Chronograph I have ordered.

Popped in to Goldsmiths on the off chance today and they had 1 in stock!

Absolute bargain.

I also had a piece of luck! Popped into AMJ watches in Newark and found they had the same 'panda' chronograph in store as I'd ordered from Goldsmith's, and now my wallet is considerably lighter!

I don’t believe these are popular but the supply might be low (as it’s not popular). I would want a discount if I was buying one.
The current Tudors with a waiting list are the silver black bay 58, the 2 new chronos….

It’s a £1700 watch, what discount would you expect!? One sold on eBay for over list

I would want about 10% off if I was wanting one. It was made for the Asian market and so it’s only hard to get due to low volumes here. Uses the sellita movement (an eta copy). The main thing is you like it.

I am thinking about one of these, I really like the look of it. It looks like it would feel quite light which would put me off, need to really try one on before buying it but how heavy does it feel OP?

It doesn’t feel light and I usually wear a 44mm and a 45mm steinhart.

Bracelet quality is superb for this price point. It’s certainly got a number of admiring glances in the last few days and I’m enjoying wearing it.


I personally don’t think there’ll be any discount on the price as it seems very low stock.

Haven’t really looked at these before but that looks beautiful. I’m a huge fan of the old Tudor prince chronos from the early 90s, but that really fits the bill and no doubt will be superbly well made too. Lovely thumbup

Wouldn't want a discount as the RRP is so low laugh

I’m still looking at it and think it’s great value. Really happy with it. Outsourced movement doesn’t bother me at all, as long as it’s a Swiss automatic movement I’m happy!

Absolutely! Nothing wrong with that movement, unless you’re paying £10k+ for a Hublot powered by it!
