Different location in Paris today - the Printemps store at the mall at the Louvre - had the GMT on the leather strap for €3350. €600 seems like a big disparity between strap and bracelet, unless pricing is different between the 2 locations I've seen.

 

At the beginning of having my Tudor GMT, the same thing happened with the date, I jumped two days and it did not change at 12 o'clock at night, I did it later. I took him to the official service and in 15 days I had him in my house in perfect conditions. they followed the protocol they were dictated from Switzerland and no problem at the moment.

 

Dammit, estimated wait time went to 3-6 months. Hurry up and wait.

All the used or New Stainless ones for sale are at least $1,000 over retail.

 

Haha. Good point!

 

Personally I think the GMT is a great looking and priced watch and I’m on the list for one with my AD, but I’m hearing there maybe a problem with date setting ?

 

I believe that some batches have had date issues. Apparently the date numeral doesn’t sit squarely in the window, but the problem doesn’t appear before 30 days Easily repaired under warranty, but...

 

Some (all?) of us on this forum and other forums have had an issue where the date advances 1.5 days leaving the window updated half way to the next date. This is also happening to the ROLEX DD40 and the date complication which was supposedly (I read it in an article) integrated into the MT5602 to become the MT5612 (Pelagos with date) and this MT5652 came from ROLEX. Some people are claiming this flaw only occurred in a "batch" but if that's the case, the batch was distributed worldwide as the problem is reported all over the world. Rolex Warranty HQ sent out "kits" (presumably including parts, see other posts on this issue) to all of its repair facilities worldwide. Weeks prior to that shipment, Tudor stopped all shipments to every dealer. So they knew they had a big problem, not just a "batch" that got tainted.
I have not received word on my repair yet, but I took it in on the date in the picture, August 21, 2018. It has been 22 days. Stevec14 posted on the Rolex forum yesterday (9-11-18) that his came back repaired already and he sent his in after mine. But he doesn't live in my part of the country...so results should vary.

To quote Stevec14: "Well, mine is back. A week and a half or so. Good service. The service receipt is a bit cryptic. Just says movement correction and additional components.
No explanation as to the issue was forthcoming. Pleased to have it back though."

So the "kit" did include parts.
Has anyone purchased a new one that just arrived at their dealer?

 

Where are you located in the world?

 

Rolex forum indicates same issue with Rolex DD40, which may be the same date change design because the Tudor design came from Rolex and was bragged about as a positive thing. I need to track down the caliber again though...APPLE updated my iPhone and my recent notes were destroyed; we'll see. If the design is the same one, then Rolex testing procedures were not adequate either. So far I've read of failures becoming evident 4 days to 2 weeks, to ?

 

No, not all. I have had mine since July and I have worn it daily and the date changes correctly. So far anyway...

 

May your good luck continue. Two of us thought we dodged the 'bullet' but we were both wrong.

 

picked one up yesterday date changes just fine

 

May God Bless you. Please give us an update after one month? It will be interesting to compile data.

 

That’s great info and ties up with the vagueness of my AD who still says he’s waiting for deliveries etc..hmmmm

 

damn that is a good lookin watch

Where did you pick it up at?

 

My Wayward Wandering Wilsdorf Watch has returned! Picked it up today at 11:30am. YAY!
I asked for a receipt and explanation and all I got was a receipt stating:

"Repair-watch
Tudor Black Bay GMT steel 41mm burgundy/blue
aluminum bezel black domed dial on leather strap with
steel buckle
Completed work: Check Movement
Problem: date does not change
"

No elaboration as to the nature of the repair (if any) nor the problem cause.

Saleslady wrote/spoke: "Most time they dont tell us how did fix it.(sic)" (Cantonese extraction, iPhone voice recognition doesn't do her justice)

If all they did was "Check Movement" and I have this problem again, then it will be escalated.

As I waited my turn, another man was finishing up sending his Rolex Milgauss (blue-green crystal) in for a battery (JOKING !!!) repair. I'm not sure the nature of his problem. The total number of days turnaround for my watch repair from Galleria in Dallas to Rolex Service in Dallas (19 minutes, 10 miles away straight down the Dallas North Tollway) is 29 days...~4 weeks. I've experienced worse repair turnarounds. Glad to have it back but concerned about "Check Movement"...I already did that and took pictures to prove it.

 

was a ebay purchase locally

 

Had mine since mid July and all seems OK so far!
It's a lovely watch and gets a lot of wrist time as part of my rotation

 

Ya, rub it in. Enjoy your watch.

 

I got one on trade last week. They are really nice watches and pictures don't do them justice. The dial is really balanced and they don't wear as thick as I thought they would.
