    I am just wondering if any members have one of these. I am on the waiting list but I think it will be a long while before I get it. Does any one have one and does it look as good in the flesh as it does in the pictures?

    Looks good, what are your thoughts about it? I am told the wait will be a long one, maybe 2019. I don' have the opportunity to see one in the flesh, not even a regular BB heritage as there are no watch shops in Malawi. How does it wear? I have big wrists, so I can get away with chunky watches easily. Inteested to read your thoughts about this watch.
    kind regards stuart

    Hi, unfortunately it has not had any wrist time. It is rather heavy and chunky. This could be because of their in house movement that they now use instead of the previous ETA movement.
    It is a great looking watch and they have made small changes to the dial from the traditional BB

    The numbered edition 1 - 100 have been completely sold. There are rumors that they will produce another 75 numbered editions making the total 175. There are also rumors that they will produce a limited run for the next few years but again this is pure speculation, as the waiting list is now circa 2000.

    In short nobody knows

    I am glad that I was in a position to get one, as Tudor are a great brand, but it is a shame about their brand ambassadress.( Lady GA GA )

    I was told by the watch department that they will get them for the next few years but how many they did not know. The chances of me getting one seem slim, but not to worry, there is always something else round the corner if I don't get one. I also like the burgundy and the peglis LHD so I won't be overly disappointed either way.
    Thanks for your input Mr Gadget.

    It’s identical to normal heritage black bays just a different dial and bezel.

    I think green Black Bay looks awesome. If this is available, this will be my 1st Tudor watch!

    It retails for the same as the other black bay models at 2600 odd pounds.

    They were supposed to only do a 100. Then a number 221 popped up recently so it looks like they are going above that number. I would assume those on the now closed Harrods list will be first in line. I was told 100 initially. Them 250 a year for the next few years as they go through their lost. But really who knows.

    Rolex also said the milgauss with green glass was a limited edition....so I guess based on market demand....They are a for profit after all.

    One review I read stated that Tudor did not release limited editions. I am not sure what that means in reality. From the few emails I have had, it has not been commented on how many are being made only that it could take some time maybe a year or two. I suppose the only thing to do is to wait and see, Its a nice looking watch, at least from the pictures I have seen, and it is not an outrageous price either. I will just keep my fingers crosse and see what goes.
