Ref. M28600-0005 · In stock (per WatchMaxx)
Brand new from WatchMaxx, a grey-market (non-authorized) dealer; its listing says '5-year WatchMaxx warranty', not Tudor's. Jomashop showed $2,540 but out of stock (1:09 AM ET). 'List' is the retail figure the dealers display; Tudor's own site now shows a newer 40 mm Royal line, so I could not confirm this price there. Prices change fast; check the store before you buy.

Which one I'd pick
Which one: I priced the blue-dial M28600-0005 on the steel bracelet. Black (-0003) and other dials exist; match the full ref.
What to check before you buy
- Warranty: grey-market new watches usually carry the dealer's warranty, not the brand's. Ask which one you get and whether the brand's warranty card is included.
- Exact reference: dial colour, size and strap change the price. Match the full ref (M28600-0005) before comparing deals.
- Fakes and red flags: be wary of prices far below the ranges above, stock photos only, or sellers who won't show the caseback, serial and papers.
