Archetypal Posted May 2, 2013 Report Posted May 2, 2013 This is taking too long..... Doesn't it always?
atomic_doug Posted May 16, 2013 Report Posted May 16, 2013 I got to see/handle one of these in the flesh. It's spectacular and is even better in person than in pictures. This will be a must-buy when it's eventually released.
atomic_doug Posted May 16, 2013 Report Posted May 16, 2013 (edited) Yeah. Just got back from a trip to Germany. A jeweler had one on display, though it was already reserved by another buyer; otherwise I can't say I wouldn't have ponied-up for it. Apparently, they're selling like hotcakes It doesn't quite wear like an old Sub, it feels a lot more solid. Wears quite a bit bigger too. Lots of nice, little details.

GBOGH Posted May 16, 2013 Report Posted May 16, 2013 It doesn't quite wear like an old Sub, it feels a lot more solid. Wears quite a bit bigger too. Lots of nice, little details. Yes, I would have to agree. 1
vibramute64 Posted May 16, 2013 Report Posted May 16, 2013 Not gonna lie...I haven't been this excited about a new rep in a long time. A Black Bay is probably going to be my first gen purchase when the hype cools and they start popping up used at slightly more reasonable prices, but I welcome a 'super' rep and will gladly pony up for one to hold me over.
devilseam Posted May 17, 2013 Report Posted May 17, 2013 I cant wait. Do we have any word on a release date yet?
cougar1 Posted June 29, 2013 Author Report Posted June 29, 2013 Things slow, Angus taking about a July release, so hope August/September. Dials complete, just to move 12 hr and 6 hour marker down a touch for final release: Gen dial in middle, very worn already from all the handling, rep dials either side.
Deckard1979 Posted June 29, 2013 Report Posted June 29, 2013 It does look good. Can`t wait! Might buy gen instead
gavinelli Posted June 30, 2013 Report Posted June 30, 2013 Out of curiosity, an probably aimed at fellow uk residents, question. Whats the safest way to purchase a tudor gen? Since there not actually available for sale in the united kingdom
Deckard1979 Posted June 30, 2013 Report Posted June 30, 2013 http://www.tudorwatch.com/en/affiliates/ I reckon any Rolex AD can order one for You. 1
gavinelli Posted June 30, 2013 Report Posted June 30, 2013 http://www.tudorwatch.com/en/affiliates/ I reckon any Rolex AD can order one for You. I thought that, but that was before i'd seen that page you posted, on there iphone app. States that tudor watches are not for sale in united kingdom. After seeing that i doubt wether from a legal point of view that they would get involved, even if they thought it was daft themselves. Not being able to help me. Theres some on ebay like but just to risky, no matter how kosher they look
Craig S Posted July 1, 2013 Report Posted July 1, 2013 There are about three dealers I know of in UK. I bought a herb black bay about a month ago whilst in London. Usa is where you will have problems getting one.Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2
cougar1 Posted July 1, 2013 Author Report Posted July 1, 2013 Could never understand all this exclusivity and restrictions bullshiiit, yes Rolex we know it improves desire and craving but wtf, do ye not want to sell the watch or something? Seen a few people get the likes of iconicwatches to source one for them. 1
Deckard1979 Posted July 1, 2013 Report Posted July 1, 2013 Yes, it seems the Rolex want You to beg them to join their VIP club.. I have seen quite few for sale, used and new ones, on Watchuseek.
Geof3 Posted July 1, 2013 Report Posted July 1, 2013 I really like the watch, but the band bugs me. I don't like the wide inner links verses the narrow outers. Throws off the look a bit. But, overall it is really cool.

1680 Posted July 2, 2013 Report Posted July 2, 2013 Aren't most Oyster bracelets like that? Classic look I think they are. Yes and no. The Rolex Oyster braclet have wider middle links, however the center links of the Black Bay bracelet are much wider and the ratio between center and outer links width is off imho. 1
justudor Posted July 2, 2013 Report Posted July 2, 2013 Yes and no. The Rolex Oyster braclet have wider middle links, however the center links of the Black Bay bracelet are much wider and the ratio between center and outer links width is off imho. I see. Fair enough!

mastergod Posted July 3, 2013 Report Posted July 3, 2013 Hope I'm not breaking the rules but this thread seems the right place to ask: Do we know anything about the Pelagos progress? cheers mg
