I would like to know this also. However, the problem did not show up on mine until exactly one month of ownership and use.

Shame. Some understandably ticked off people on this thread. I intended to buy one minty second hand and it seems a gamble now. This has pushed my purchase forward possibly years.

Knocking on one month now of daily wear. Zero issues. Insane accuracy.

Mine appeared fixed with some rolling date forward, but after a month of good running it has started jumping 2 days again. Into RSC next week

Month and a week since I have it - zero issues with the date change. Excellent accuracy (2 seconds gain per 24hrs).

Date jumped after not even a week of ownership.

Got the watch last Friday and it jumped from Sept 12 the to 14th. It's a beautiful watch but what a shame. Have others gotten theirs back from RSC? What are they doing to fix it? So weird!

I sent mine to RSC in Dallas. They sent me an email that it’s been received and they’ll let me know once a technician looks at it.

Any update from Rolex? I hate to see my watch gone for a few months. They said a typical repair is 3-4 weeks. Just want to hear your experience.

Just picked mine up yesterday from getting serviced in Dallas. It was gone for 3 weeks exactly. I received no paper work on what was done so not sure how they are wording the repair. I do have a great AD with a good contact at RSC that walked it through for me so not sure if that timing is normal.

Mine has not had the date issue...picked up from AD on 6/31/2018 and serial begins I761...time wise, it's consistently run 6 sec fast over a 24 hr period or just w/in COSC.

My Rolex GMT has no problem after 10 years, I'd just get a Rolex and be done with it

Because it’s a Tudor, not a Rolex. Sure Tudor is owned by Rolex, but if you want Rolex quality, buy a Rolex.

Tell that to the people who bought a DD40 when it was released....and the date didn’t work.

And that for approximately 10 or 12 times the price of a Tudor

This is a poor response. If these guys pay 3,900 for a watch, it ought to work as intended.

They overpaid trying to find a cheap way into a Rolex GMT II. Tudor isn’t Rolex.

Spoke with RSC today, and apparently they are waiting on replacement movements that they expect next month. I’m curious to see if any of the early RSC repairs that didn’t get any new parts start acting up after time.

What utter nonsense.

It’s a new movement. Shit happens....as it did with the DD40, but you conveniently chose to ignore that comment above.

I don’t believe anybody here is trying to be cheap. Some just like Tudor watches. I have two GMTCs (including the WG). Right now I’m enjoying my BB GMT more.

Interesting take. People have to pay to play if they want the date to work.

Not the “take” at all. It’s simple... if they want a Rolex, buy a Rolex instead of a GMT II knockoff expecting the same quality movement.
