What frustrates me most about this is that Tudor gets a pass on all these issues yet Tag Heuer (or name another company) gets absolutely trashed for everything. I can't think of another brand that released a defective movement to customers (the GMT datewheel issue). That should have been a reputation killer yet the big watch channels all gave the same message that this was typical of new movements (no, it definitely is not!) Tudor has raised their prices to ~$5K and deserves this scrutiny because it's a lot of money. Another point is that Longines is competing for the same kind of customers yet they are depicted as lower quality by many watch channels despite never having these qc issues yet Tudor is given all this publicity despite having only the Black Bay as a hit. It's interesting to see how people depict certain brands and shows that despite all the intellectualizing we do, it's still very much an emotional purchase.

Shit happens. They'll fix it. I wouldn't freak out too much mate.

I own the Reverse Panda, purchased new from my AD July 2021. Three months later, in October, I was using the chrono, and both pushers stopped working. No click, nothing. The chrono was running, and the watch was running, but I could not shut off, nor reset the chrono. Took it back to my AD, they sent it in under warranty. Two months later, in December, got it back. Been fine since, but truthfully, I almost never use the chrono function.

I had the same issue with my reverse panda chrono. I brought it back to Rolex, waited 5 weeks and was presented with a new scratch in the case and the same misaligned hand. Could not be bothered to bring it back again so in the end, I sold it. I have a Speedmaster and I never had an issue. Even after 14 years, it runs and aligns perfectly. Good luck with the repair 👍

It's sad when the fakes with mecca quartz movements are better than the original

I have that same problem with my Tudor Chrono. It's not as much as yours, but it's not directly over the line like I expected from a $5k watch. Also when I set the time, the minute hand moves a little when I push the crown back in making it hard to get an exact minute hand position.

I’ve had one for ages pretty much since it came out and it’s perfect. I am a Tudor fan but if something went wrong which it definitely can, I’d just send it back for repair. I’ve a Tudor bb gmt with a misaligned bezel but it doesn’t bother me enough to send it in. Actually, if I’m passing, I might just do that😂😂 I’m moving to omegas again as I’ve re fallen in love with the speedmaster. Still going to keep the bbs in my collection. Good luck with it. Suck it up and get it in .

I had the S&G Chrono and I noticed it was a quarter second off to the left one day. I freaked out, and as I was handling it and turning it different directions, the second hand shifted a quarter second too far to the right. There was play in the second hand. I assumed that was normal for this watch and didn't think anything of it. Got a reverse panda today and there's no play. Another difference between the two is the crystal. The S&G had a super smoky ring around the edge of the crystal, thought that was normal since I saw other people commenting on it. Thought it made the watch look really cheap. Got rid of the watch for that reason. The reverse panda i just got has no smokiness in crystal unless I shine a flashlight on it at a very specific angle, very different appearance. I'm thinking they have gone through some production phases and are doing some Kaizen over there, that's my take. Current watch seems better in those two ways, but we'll see what happens. did you try doing a little shake of the watch to see if the second hand bounces back? My Omega Speedmaster Master Chrono had no play, and it definitely made the Tudor seem cheap. I thought the Tudor was really premium until I got that Omega on my wrist and it was much nicer. However, got rid of that for being too blingy. This reverse panda Tudor is where it's at, even though it isn't on the same level as the Omega. I got rid of the Omega.

Good man

Vertical clutch chronographs can be left running with no additional strain on the movement 😅. Just a fun piece of trivia. Seiko is guilty of the same thing.

Nonsense. Warranty. Then fixed. Mine is perfect. I had a daytona that went back twice. Do you hear me whining? My tudor panda hasn't gone back. Wake up.

May I ask which movement your particular Tudor js running? Is it the Modified Breitling B01 as found in the Red Bull Racing Pelagos Chronograph?

I had this issue with my Speedmaster. I sent it off and got it fixed, it came back and a few weeks later happened again. It really put me off Omega so I can imagine how you're feeling with the Tudor. I now have a Nivada Grenchen Chronomaster Aviator Sea Diver to scratch my chronograph itch instead. I do own a Tudor Pelagos which I've had zero issues with...I think some of it is luck of the draw, but it shouldn't be happening to any watches in these price brackets really.

Tudor movements and QC are abysmal, sorry to hear about this, but I’m not surprised it happened… us watch fans just don’t hear about these issues because the Tudor fan base is just extremely elitist and pretentious about not being pretentious, and will refuse to acknowledge any faults with their favorite brand.

Lol Chronos always make me panic when actuating that this will happen!

My Tudors are perfect, BB58 and Pelagos 39. I think it’s wearer error! lol Jk. Chronos are more complicated so there’s always more things that can go wrong, but that said my Speedy is perfect. Same for my $200 Citizen chronograph I’ve had for a decade

I've seen speedys having the same issues

Ive heard good things about the Zenith El primero movements. I believe they used to supply the old gen rolex daytona's. A bit more expensive then tudor tho

Been contemplating a Carrera glassbox or this. I guess this video settles it. 😂 i had this issue with my Luminox Atacama 1942 - but it was a Luminox anyway, so I just kept it away in my box for memory sake. This BB Chrono isnt that affordable (and isnt meant to be).

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

My both 58's had misaligned bezels.

It’s not a QC issue. Tudor does this on purpose.

With the quality of lower end watches being what they are, The more mid range watches are starting lose appeal to me. Not sure if anyone else feels this way.

Got a Pepsi GMT from my Rolex AD last May. The hour hand is off by 5 minutes. It’s a misalignment.

I want an Omega, which one do you recommend?

I bet it happens with all chrono watches time to watch despite the price. Just 1 of those things. The tolerances of these kinda things are soo small.

All chronograph watches do this, you can manually reset the hand individually to to align perfectly, every now and then they may be out a second or two but you just realign it.

You really think they have nothing to do with each other 😂

I owned a BB58 navy, I got bored of it immediately, it is not luxury level

Every brand will have the odd issue from time to time ,even Rolex sorry guys!

No Tudor for me in my collection, far too many problems and complains from other fellow collectors.

I have a speedy - 2 years old - no problems. But having said that I’ve owned a first generation BB chronograph and currently have a BB 58 blue and a BB 58 silver case and never had a problem. I guess any watch can let you down - but Tudor do seem to have too many issues and need to up their game.

I completely understand how annoying this is. But generalizing individual occurrence to whole brand issue is immature. Nothing in this world is perfect. Give the timepiece back to Tudor and they will fixi it. Grow up!

Tudor way overrated
