1st Tudor BB GMT hits Grey market
first one Ive seen on Recon from Trusted Grey seller
Retail on the Tudor site for the leather is $3575 https://www.tudorwatch.com/watches/new- ... 830rb-0002
Grey seller listed at $4625 https://forums.watchuseek.com/f30/fsot- ... 32303.html
These aren't supposed to be hard to get like Rolex, right??
Guess the premium is for those who want to be first??
Good looking watch either way

Re: 1st Tudor BB GMT hits Grey market
I’m sure someone on TRF will pay it in order to be “the first”.

I have never understand that why someone would pay more just to say "I have it".

Re: 1st Tudor BB GMT hits Grey market
Stupid to pay premium....Walk into a Tourneau and order one for $3500 if you need one now.
Re: 1st Tudor BB GMT hits Grey market
This one started at $4,300 and has bumped down to $3,675. Perhaps people aren’t so stupid after all.

Re: 1st Tudor BB GMT hits Grey market
Not surprised no one’s biting in this one. I imagine not many would buy this watch on just the Nato strap at a premium.dnslater wrote: ↑Sat Jul 07, 2018 1:10 pmThis one started at $4,300 and has bumped down to $3,675. Perhaps people aren’t so stupid after all.

I guess the days of Tudor including the Nato as a second strap are gone.
Re: 1st Tudor BB GMT hits Grey market
Tudor still includes the nato…..you buy it on leather or the bracelet and get the nato.
Re: 1st Tudor BB GMT hits Grey market
Are you sure? None of the BB GMTs that I’ve seen on the grey market come with two straps, and the Tudor website no longer markets any of their watches that way. They used to explicitly say the watches came with a second strap. Now they just say you have a choice of straps (bracelet, leather, or Nato).
That wouldn’t count any stock that ADs or greys still have that were originally shipped with two straps, but Tudor appears to be moving away from including the Nato gratis.

Re: 1st Tudor BB GMT hits Grey market
From my research, Tudor stopped including the nice nato/cloth straps when they switched to in-house movements. That's why they show all three versions on the Tudor website now, with leather and nato references at the same price, and bracelet is a little more (of course).

The nato was only for the BBs correct? My Pelagos (on bracelet) also came with a rubber strap.
I thought Tudor stopped including a second strap (rubber or nato) on all their current watches

Re: 1st Tudor BB GMT hits Grey market
They did it for the BB, the Ranger, and the Heritage Chrono.
On edit: and the rubber strap with the Pelagos. Have they discontinued including that one, too?

I can find out--will be back...you could be right...
Re: 1st Tudor BB GMT hits Grey market
You are correct- I was wrong...
Re: 1st Tudor BB GMT hits Grey market
I never used the natos they included. Same with my THC.

Re: 1st Tudor BB GMT hits Grey market
We are talking about a cheap nylon NATO strap after all. That can be had for next to nothing...am I missing something?

Re: 1st Tudor BB GMT hits Grey market
Well, the Tudor Natos were a little nicer than a $10 version, but I agree that you can get the same look for next to nothing. And I'm sure the Tudor Natos are overpriced for what they are.
However, what I liked about it was that Tudor was acknowledging that watch fans often enjoy changing straps and decided to cater to that part of the hobby. So I'm kind of bummed. But I'll get over it.
Re: 1st Tudor BB GMT hits Grey market
i get it i guess, Always nice to get a little freebie.

Re: 1st Tudor BB GMT hits Grey market
I thought it was a $180 strap? I would call it cheap that is for sure.

I just bought the LHD Pelagos a few weeks ago and additional rubber strap was included.JBZ wrote:They did it for the BB, the Ranger, and the Heritage Chrono.
