You want one of the hottest Tudor watches around? You're going to queue.

There are many, many other watches on the market if you would prefer to avoid the queuing. But the Tudor is one of the nicest looking IMHO, and from a good maker, hence the demand.
Sorry LB, I should have been a bit clearer.

The faff mentioned is for the OP with a blue dial.

The BB58 (Blue) had a waiting list of 15, for a model with a bracelet. Potentially three years.

On a soft strap, the wait was only three people. But, I was quoted £600 for the strap to match from Tudor. (Despite the RRP being only £200 difference).

A starting point for negotiation.

But if you don’t want to queue you know what to do...
