You're going to have to bear with me because I know initial reaction is going to be a big fat no, BUT think pink. Keeping to the same 40mm and 42mm sizes this would look amazing in the right shade of pink. Money waiting* :lol:

*I'm patiently waiting for a pink BB Chrono, so the pink-watch-want is strong at the moment.

Sadly, it's by no way a guarantee with no published production or allocation figures. I'm third on the list for this AD though, so hope is there! Some AD's have waiting lists and haven't seen a single unit. At least the place I'm listed with has had some stock slowly passing through. Fingers, toes and everything else crossed.

As to the prices on Chrono24 for the BB Pink chronograph?

As a sensible dealer would say…
The prices on Chrono24 are not the prices watches are selling at. They are the prices that watches are not selling at!

I think the charts are verified sales. Although, I wish that they would publish the bracket numbers. It is very hard to figure out the high and lows for the data points.

I was referring to the listing prices, rather than their charts, which I gave zero interest in…

I have no wish to know how much less a few of my watches are worth than at the peak of the madness.

I don't track my own watches either. I look once a year to update my insurance (my provider does not require professional appraisals on anything worth below $150K). It is helpful for watches I want to buy though (the range is more helpful than the average). Typically I am after stuff that is not currently at retail (older models). Helps when comparison shopping especially given your point that the list prices are largely aspirational.

Past experience would suggest that every Tudor model will eventually appear in AD windows at RRP, I would be patient if I were after one.

Apologies for continuing the thread digression. Back to the pool blue, I think it is quite appealing, particularly on the Aquaflex rubber.

I think the pool blue is a winner. If the ultimate trident doesn't float my boat then I will have a 42 on the bader bracelet. Although that pool blue shade isn't a million miles from my blue marine trident.

I’m hoping that’s the case. Plus, I’m not in a rush and definitely won’t be paying a penny more than retail if one does come up.

I was in a the same situation sat on a list for my BB58 Navy Blue when that was released back in 2020 and now they’re available everywhere.

The colour is fantastic & I hope it carries over to the sealander. What I am disappointed by is that the inner style insert is still offset to the right at 6pm not inline. I have not seen a single c60 diver with it inline. Chris ward posted a video of the real watch this morning and still not central. I’m shocked they have not corrected this.

I'd be intrigued to see where?

It was on there Facebook page. Any c60 trident pro 300 look @ the 6pm area the steel insert is always off to the right of the 6pm indice on the dial. Clearly a manufacturing fault that they have chosen not to correct.

I must have got lucky then, or they've corrected it, as my new C60 300 Is perfectly aligned.
I remember my first Blue Trident pro MK2 had a misaligned Bezel, they swapped the watch with one, where the Bezel was perfect.
I had one once where everything, even the crown was perfect.
