Hi 3T. Not sure if this is the right place to post this but just wondering if you guys in other parts of the world have seen any ADs with the Tudor Black Bay already? And if you've seen one in the stores, would you have an indication on the price point?

I read in another forum that the Australia (Sydney) has taken delivery already but there were no direct confirmations from any members at all.

Would value your inputs. I think it's a great re-issue and has a rare crimson bezel to boot. Thanks heaps.

Jeff, I made some enquiries just last week.  I'm considering ordering one!  The price quoted with the s/s bracelet was roughly USD 3000 or just shy of that number anyway.  Not sure if that is a good price or not, but the Rolex AD has looked well after me in the past, so should be......
Availability is another issue altogether.  I was quoted 8 weeks waiting!crap.gif

a minimum 10-12 week wait on a pre-order from my local AD in the states...price of the Black Bay on bracelet is 3250CHF which equates to about $3400.usd.,and some AD's are getting a premium to get on the list...heard the Chinese market will see these 1st...chickendance.gif

Coming to a street market in Shenzhen near you soon...
Guys, I should be able to pick "Grade A" knockoffs for you within the week for about 60 bucks. Just let me know how many subtlelaugh.gifcrap.gifchickendance.gif

Thanks Graham and Oscar.

You are right. There's a long wait and the price points you mentioned are on the button. The Pelagos is tempting too but the Black Bay really seems just right.

Sorry for the late reply...was travelling again.

Roger that, Will. I was grappling with that matter. It's really overpriced on ETA 2824-2 but I really like the look and feel. But we WIS are really strange creaturessubtlelaugh.gif

I'm with you amigo about the look. Better wait that the craze is down and the watch gets more available...

Bullseye, amigo! I might go down that route and wait for all the excitement to die down. 2 incomings are also keeping my eyes off this target.thumbsup.gif
