Tudor GMT Issue

[nikhsub1]

I picked up the new GMT by Tudor about 6 weeks ago. I noted that it was running +7/day so I took it to RSC BH and they sent it to Dallas - apparently Dallas is the only RSC that works on Tudor. Anyhow, the watch came back 2 weeks later with absolutely nothing changed. Still at +7, the paperwork I received back was basically blank. Fast forward to a week ago. I noticed that the date had skipped TWO days. On the 8/3 when I woke up the watch said 8/5 in the date window. I thought, ok, weird and fixed it. The next day, on the 4th the watch said 8/6. I new at this time the watch needed to go back. Fast forward to this morning, I see this:



Not real happy at this point, but the watch is going back again

Ah - the gmt date issue. Many of us have had it, me included. It’s apparently an over lubrication issue. Oddly mine has sorted itself out over time so maybe yours will too.

The fast running is not good however. Are they the only people who can service. They should take care of both.

[timlaw]

unlucky - still that is why new watches have warranties I guess - still I hate it when any of my "toys" don't work perfectly so I "feel your pain" and hope both issues are sorted for you very qickly

[derekhayden]

Mine does this as well. It will be sent off this weekend for service. Mine is keeping within spec time though.

[Brian Page]

Never had it happen to mine.

Send it to RSC yourself. Eliminate the middleman.

Not good I have not had any issues yet

Several threads here on the date issue, good luck.

OP, is your second hand becoming blue???

[Rebel]

Hope it turns out OK for you.

First I've heard of the date issue. Cant belive some of y'all have had them for 6 weeks. Still haven't gotten the call

[Snow-Dweller]

I’ve only had mine for 5 days. It’s gaining 1.4 seconds/day (which is fine). The date appears to be fine so far, although the date change is pretty late (after 2am).

[SG56]

No issues on husband's either.

Man this stinks. I’m going ok I’m first month for mine

[XZACM102]

Same here, sent my watch back today.

The fact that they had your watch in Dallas and did not address the date issue is unacceptable. They're well aware of what's going on.

[Scaramanga74]

Mine is working flawless and keeps time really well but it has weak print on the date wheel on 8 and 9 :(

I´ll have that sorted later.

Sorry to hear about the difficulties - not a good start to ownership. I wonder if this issue is why the dealers in the UK are not getting any Tudors GMT until October. Perhaps they're developing a fix for the watches that were due to be delivered?

[Raku]

There are quite a few threads already related to date changing issue on these new GMTs.
Regarding the 7 seconds gain - the watch came back with nothing on the paperwork because it's running within spec. Tudor watches are COSC certified, which means an average of -4 to +6 seconds per day. Only Rolex watches are -2 tp +2.

My AD should have mine by years end but am not totally sold on it plus all these threads about date issue don't exactly inspire confidence

Lots of us who have had zero problems with the gmt,,,,,

[brandrea]

I hope you get it sorted out

[1William]

I have not had this issue but have noted several others who have. I believe they will sort it out but it is a pain.

[Etschell]

much like a new car model a new movement apparently can have issues.

hopefully these threads become less and less. for now i am steering clear.

[peterpl]

One of the reasons why being an early adopter of anything new (in this case the movement) will always have issues.

Rolex/Tudor not performing proper tests before releasing new movements in recent times.

Sorry to hear/see this. Unacceptable that RSC had the watch and did not inspect the date wheel since it is a known issue. Makes me wonder if better to wait until next year to purchase this model - maybe the kinks will be worked out by then. A $4,000 watch should not have these issues

Yes but it is outside of those specs.
