Of the 3 Tudors and 1 Rolex that I have, never had a chance to "benefit" from the warranty.

I concur considering many members have these watches in rotations and are not worn 7 days a week.

So far 26.79% or more than a quarter of those polled have needed repairs.

On one occasion, I sent a 216570 Explorer II to the NYC RSC for an adjustment.
The first position of the winding stem was not engaging fully when I turned it to move the GMT hand forward.
The watch, which I received in trade, was serviced under warranty even though my name was not on the USA warranty card.
Total service time including return to me by registered mail was about 3 weeks.
