Is the Tudor BB Chrono Stainless shock resistant?
I made a post about Tudor voiding warranty due to an 'impact'. Watch had a few dings, bezel dent, and crystal scratched. Used, not abused for about three months. Is the Chrono, movement 5813 suitable to take a hit? Any thoughts would be appreciated. I've lost faith in Tudor not standing behind their product.

Yes the movement has standard anti shock protection built in but that’s not a guarantee of protection against impact damage, and impact damage as such isn’t covered by warranty. This is the same with all watch brands. The warranty only covers faulty parts or workmanship but not damage.

Literally any watch brand is going to void a warranty for visible damage. You would experience the same thing if it were any other brand as well.

It sounds like you dropped your watch or bashed it against something. Scratching a sapphire crystal isn't easy and a dented bezel and scratched crystal does not represent normal wear and tear.

Not going to argue; didn't drop watch. I wear a 1993 Rolex Air-King in the exact same manner. I've never had any problem. Fresh serviced from local AD 3000 caliber. The 5813 caliber I'm guessing is more delicate due to more complications. Tudor is giving watch service for discounted rate. Watch is going to have to prove itself to me. I trust the Rolex completely.
