I've been highly considering the Tudor BB Chrono in white dial recently. Saw a black dial one in the flesh while at an AD event, my SA went to grab it from the customer. Held it and was really impressed with it. Later I put a deposit down for the white dial, I'm 6th on the list. However, my SA advised me that I could get mine sooner. There was only 1 person on the list for the black dial. Their list consist of people who put a deposit down. They also have a list for those who wish to wait with no deposits after the people with deposits get theirs

Anyways, my question is, should I jump on this when it comes in or do you think if I wait to pick one up when the hype dies down, I can possibly get it at a discount? Doesn't seem like it's going to be a difficult piece to get but maybe I'm wrong?

This will also be my first Tudor purchase.

Bought a couple of Tudors about 3 years ago and got 25% off both . I believe those days for new Tudor models are gone .

I would get what I actually want. Not what’s available

sp5702 · 29 May 2021, 03:18 AM

The only Tudors you might ever get a discount on are the old chronos, Pelagos and other slower moving models...and 10% at best. That’s with an established relationship at an AD. It’s still possible but not easy.

That being said, the new chronos aren’t going to go for a discount anywhere in the foreseeable future. Same as the BB58 since its release. Plus we’re talking what, a 5k watch? Not sure I’d bother to play the waiting game over $500 or less.

Always get the one you want. If it takes a year as opposed to a month I'd still wait it out.

You either want to buy a watch or you don't. Simple.

Always go for the first choice and get it ASAP from your AD, so you can start enjoy it.

BNA/LION · 29 May 2021, 04:57 AM

Get what you want.

These replies best answers my question, thank you!

I know I want the watch, but don't want to be the person that buys something to be first when I can get it for $1k+ less than msrp within a year or so. Looks like that won't be the case. I'll likely get it when my AD gives me the call

Tudor is a dime a dozen, wait a few weeks/couple months and you will see them everywhere. It's not Rolex my friend

That was my original thought process. If I wait 6-12 months, does anyone think I can get a 20% discount on one of these?

ks58 · 29 May 2021, 10:42 AM

Yes, I'm watching this thread as well. I liked the new Black Bay Ceramic, but paying retail for a watch that will be around a while is not my cup of tea. I like it at 20% off if possible as a standard discount.

No

TTbluesy · 29 May 2021, 11:00 AM

Tudor’s are aplenty and buy what you want or take a bath in the place filler you’ll eventually sell.

Don’t settle here, in the big picture these aren’t hard to get or terribly expensive watches.

i haven’t yet to see a modern tudor that consistently demands premium in second hand market, even the BB58 can be had used below MSRP. i’m sure same thing would happen to the new chrono

No. I don’t think you’re getting discounts on their more popular models. There is no reason to, they are super popular and affordable.
