I am considering one of these for a family member. I hear good reports that the tweaks that Tudor make to the ETA movement on the BB36 result in excellent timekeeping.

I am wondering if the 1926 model receives the same enhancements or is it a stock ETA movement?

I also read that in the case of Tudor watches, when the time comes for a service they do not actually service your movement, they swap it out for a pre-serviced movement. I can see the efficiency of that as a business model and I can see the sense in it if there is a fault under warranty, but as a general service policy it does not seem to fit with the brand. Is this accurate or just a rumour?
