I'm disappointed it won't come with a fabric strap. Usually that's not something I'd ever put on the watch, but in the pics the fabric strap looks really nice. The review linked above has a really pretty shot on the strap right at the top.

It's kind of amusing to see that, not only is it clearly a working model, but you can tell exactly how long it took them to replace the strap and take the next pic.

Hi everyone,

I am from Canada and I am very interested in my very first Tudor. I have my eyes set on the Black Bay 58 and contacted my local AD. They are taking orders now but I am not sure about discounts when it comes to a pre-order watch. I read in the forum that Tudors run 10% discount max but not sure if I should try on this Tudor. What do you guys think?

If you have experience purchasing a pre-ordered watch please share.

In general you can do better than 10% on a Tudor (at least on the grey market), but you're not going to get a discount on a new model that's just hitting the dealers. Why would they give you a discount when there are people lined up to pay full price?

You can always try to negotiate, but they don't have much motivation to bend. Paying in cash or giving them a plausible reason to not charge you tax are your best bets. Otherwise, you'll need to wait until the watch is common enough to be just sitting in stores for people to walk up and buy.
