Should I wait or not?

Regardless of whether or not that is true, just keep in mind it’s probably also a sales tactic to help achieve end of year sales quotas. So it’s up to you

Yeah, consider the source.

I don’t buy any of my Tudors at an AD better price elsewhere

Tudor as a brand may increase the price but in the secondary market they still loose about 20 to 30 % - I’d just wait you will still get a great watch and I have had alot of success getting pre owned that are in amazing condition, especially Tudor

It was the same last year. I picked up my Pelagos on Christmas Eve and in January the price rose by £350 which I obviously avoided.

Do you believe that the AD's are trying to help you beat the increase or push their sales figures up? If it's a watch you want and can afford then it makes sense to buy before the increase and you both win.

Which one is your go to model?

I'm torn between the black bay chrono with the white dial and the blue Pelagos 42.

Can you recommend something? Chrono24?

If you like BB58 Blue, Jomashop have it in $3350

I don’t buy from those sites I have a wholesale broker I deal with. If you need help send private message I can help you and get you in contact with the right person.

Stick to your budget. You had a budget for a reason.

Tudor is no longer as hype as it was and used prices are off a cliff even if they put up the rrp, so many lightly used options of all catologue

That’s true my BB39 I got from an old Jewellery store in Sydney J Farren Price in Castlereigh St, great watch store , carries lots of high end brands too . I saved a bit over $100 off the Tudor AD in King St .

I doubt it, they aren't selling well at the moment, tons for sale on the used market. Pick up a lightly used model with quite a big saving easily

If you have already decided for a particular Tudor model and are just waiting for 2024 to make your budget right, then I would go for the purchase. Otherwise, I would wait. 2024 will bring a bag of new wonderful watches and you might even find much better options than those proposed by Tudor.

I bought my BB58 second hand. I’ll do the same when I buy a Pelagos

As someone who bought a bb58 from an AD last year and is now seeing the price for like-new examples on the secondary market, I 100% agree

All Tudor watches will be available on secondary market at 15-20% less.. unless you are looking for 5 years warranty or trying to built a relationship with the AD for a Rolex, don’t bother

Sure you can negotiate it down.

On these things lately I am being a bit more transcendental. First u should do your homework. Check the prices, go online, trust but verify. If you are certain to have a good price marketwise, if you have the funds and it does not conflict wih other priorities (familiy, health, debt, budget, etc), then go for it. Trying to beat the future market in this is just pointless. Watches are not investments, and anyway the trend now is downwards. If you are buying it for financial reasons, then don’t. But if it’s something that will make you happy, and it does not hurt other prioirities of your life, then do it. We never know how long we will be here…

For me Tudor is a preowned buy anyway as they lose a lot of value from MSRP after 1-2 years. I say wait...

IMO never buy a watch unless you have the cash to do so. This thread has many great posts on picking up a Tudor on the secondary market for less. Wait until it's in budget and look for pre-owned
