Tudor Date Window

[Dickie Watty]

The date doesn’t seem to be perfectly centered in the window of my Tudor Black Bay steel. Anyone else notice an issue with their black Bay steel or their Pelagos?

[bdex75]

Not really. But I don’t own a BB with a date. Or an in house Tudor movement for that matter. Here is a shot of my Pelagos. Looks good to me.

My Tudors all look good!!! No problems!!!

Maybe it’s my OCD 😐

My pelagos is similar to yours. It goes more up, not really centered. Should this be fixed?

Try quick-set cycling it through a month, and see if it straightens out.

My steel looks fine ....I wouldn't let it bother me if it wasnt perfect

[stamsd]

It does look a bit high. It would be enough for me to get it adjusted if under warranty. Sorry Dickie.

My pelagos. It bothered me at first because my 116713 was centered. I decided to get used to it. Now I see other Tudors are fine, so I'm not sure if I should get it fixed.

Thanks but I tried that already

I had the same issue on my LHD, I got it fixed under warranty, took about a month. I think you should get it done as once you notice it, you will obsess about it.

I think this could be first Tudor purchase. Gorgeous!!

[Etschell]

could it be a bit high sure. nothing that would bother me greatly.

[Dickie Watty]

It’s about a month old, I think I will live with it and maybe if it happens to need a slight timing adjustment one day in the next few years I will have it done then along with a pressure test which needs to be done every year or two anyway. Judging by the fact that others have a similar situation on their tudors I would say that it must fall within normal spec and is a cosmetic thing.

Here are better pics of my Tudor that have dates. Top is Pelagos and bottom is THC.

Your Pelagos looks same as my Black Bay. I would say there is no issue and within spec. I will admit that having it slightly skewed toward 12 o’clock does make it very easy to read at an angle, which is how I normally view the watch, not very often do I look strait on at the date from above.

[Dickie Watty]

Here is the angle I would normally view at. Looks centered from here. Maybe it’s by design? Ha!👍🏻

[minute_man]

However small, there does seem to be an issue with the date window alignment... Hadn't noticed until I came across this thread

[peterpl]

Such an easy QC issue yet so many ppl have this problem.

TBH I would get this fixed. It would annoy me and once you see it you will always focus on it taking away from you enjoying the watch.

When I look at a watch I look at the alignment of dates etc.....if its not aligned its the first indication that its not authentic.

Seriously though is a $100 seiko can get alignment perfect how can a $3k watch not?

[Etschell]

mine are both perfect.

[Jerodp716]

I’m slightly OCD so it would bother me.

[kwingy]

I had it on my LHD and got it fixed under warranty.

[SPMN]

My LHD is perfectly centered. I would definitely get that fixed as it would bother me. Sorry about that.
