Multiple posts on this forum about Tudor GMT date issue changed my mind about buying it this summer. Doesn't make sense to purchase (and chase) a brand new watch that has a common defect, dealing with service and paying $4k for the privilege.

It's a beautiful piece, and I really wanted GMT watch for everyday wear as I actually have a need for it. But. must. resist. and use common sense. Tudor/Rolex will surely resolve whatever is causing this at manufacturing time rather than rely on RSC to fix it. I'll buy it then. I wish a sincere good luck to all who are experiencing it, and hope that fixed watch serves you a long time.

Hopefully by the time I'm ready to buy the crazy demand subsides.

Is the seller really oblivious?

Spence4 · 15 August 2018, 10:19 AM

In defense of this particular watch, it is only a little after 12 on the dial

Etschell · 15 August 2018, 10:48 AM

pretty alarming 27 percent of those who bought one have an issue. i presume most of the dont know are just interested people who dont own a bb gmt.

avega357 · 15 August 2018, 11:37 AM

Not good

Odie-r · 15 August 2018, 01:20 PM

My date is working flawlessly. I'll update if anything changes.

arguetaoscar · 15 August 2018, 02:08 PM

Had mine for month and a half, no issues at all, working perfectly, and keeping great time.

100% Agreement with all that.

Bluside · 15 August 2018, 09:12 PM

I wouldn't worry about it. I have bought 2, one for my son and I liked it so much that I bought one for myself. Neither have the problem. If they did, they are covered by warranty. No biggie.

It's still a hard watch to get. I had to wait for both of them. Life is too short to worry about the 'What ifs."

brandrea · 15 August 2018, 09:16 PM

Interesting poll results.

What does unsure mean though? Either you have the problem or you dont

Right? Nearly 20% of TRF owners? That's not right.

And which is precisely why I'm not buying one just yet.

And in one snap, you've captured a lot of the allure of the piece. The lugs. Brushed, polished and right sized. The dial. Matte with texture. The bezel. Sometimes Pepsi, sometimes, coke. I could go on...

It's still early for me with the GMT, just two weeks in, but working spot-on. No issues. There hasn't been a day I haven't worn it. Great watch.

I agree with every word.

None of my other watches have had a look in.

rolexBuddy · 16 August 2018, 09:56 AM

Indeed, awesome picture!
...Must. Resist.

Rocketman39 · 16 August 2018, 11:14 AM

It sure is a great looking watch, It appear that Tudor production will not be as large as Rolex so maybe down the road a little more collector demand. That "58" is a fine piece also.

shawndww · 16 August 2018, 12:01 PM

Sounds like some of you guys are sleeping in and blaming the watch ;)

Tepeter1 · 17 August 2018, 03:12 AM

21 days with mine, no issues with mine whatsoever.

As a follow up. No issues with mine. Changes right around midnight. Only one day at a time

jaySL350 · 20 August 2018, 12:20 AM

Had mine since start of June and no date issues just a great little piece,,,
Not needed to wind it since the day I collected it,,

I_am_Ned · 20 August 2018, 12:20 AM

So far the most perfect watch I’ve ever owned. One day I’ll have enough posts here to post a picture of it :)

Need to change my poll vote.
Happened after 8 weeks, but goes two full days ahead, between 1 and 2 am.
No change around midnight.

I just set it to 10pm and will try to watch what happens. No plans on staying up again tonight

DahMan · 20 August 2018, 02:52 AM

My issue with Tudor, is the taller foot print, I was hoping for a Rolex type foot print.i bought from AD , about 3 years ago, I was able after 2 days to return, and purchase the Sub C Date. I traded my 5 digit, as part of the deal. I didn’t realize at that time, the changes for the better in my opinion on 6 digit, and the AD had stock on SS back then.
I found the Tudor, to be thick, I also didn’t like matching color scheme of the bezel to the stem socket. It was an ETA movement, and no issue, there.

Bluside · 25 August 2018, 12:17 AM

Unfortunately, I also have to revise my vote.

I bought 2 of these Tudor GMT watches. One for my son as a gift for an upcoming event. That watch has been stored in the safe since the end of June. After reading about these problems, I started to wind it and keep an eye on it. Sure enough, after about a week the date issue appeared. I took it back to my AD last week to have it repaired.

I bought one for myself about a month ago. I have been wearing it almost exclusively. It has been working flawlessly until this morning. The date had skipped a day and a half overnight.

I'm taking this watch back to my AD today for repair.

That's 2 out of 2 with the problem.

This was mine today.

My son's last week. The stickers are still on it.
