mine works perfect ....... BUT !! ...

mine doesn't have this problem, I believe they did fix it, had probably something to do with the spring that moves the date wheel. A Rolex GMT had a similar problem in the past, they replaced the spring. Not sure which Rolex GMT reference it was


now the BUT   ... what still annoys me a lot is that they DID NOT fix that bronze Black Bay bezel problem. I wrote a message about it quite some time ago.

here :   www.watchprosite.com


The thing is that I don't wear mine anymore cause I know it will happen again in salt water ... and it's a god damn dive watch !
That was more than 1 year ago I would have expected that they would have found a solution.
other bezel inlay ( also bronze and no aluminium) or ceramic.
I mean ... look at other bronze watches, they have a 100% bronze bezel without inlay or a ceramic inlay but never an aluminum inlay ... and there is a reason for this !!!

And at least they should admit it
But no, they still ignore it and probably keep changing the bezel inlay for free... this is not a solution


Don't get me wrong, I love this brand and own multiple but the bronze problem is something I don't like at all

and is an issue with the materials used rather than a mechanical issue. Tudor should really fix the root cause of both problems.

I have had my BB GMT for several months now... in a nutshell,

I was one of the very first people to get the Tudor BB GMT in the US (circa June 2018), so I have presumably a very early production watch. I wear my watches for a week or two, then rotate what I wear so that I wear each watch fairly equally and regularly... 

Thanks for reporting your experience.

The issue hopefully isn't affecting your watch. Even if it does, you can use the warranty to get it fixed. I'm pretty sure Tudor is either repairing the faulty ones under warranty and/or redesigning/replacing the faulty part(s) so future production watche...
