It is a bit disappointing, although not altogether surprising, that the Tudor in house movements are of a lesser construction than Rolex movements. I could live with that, but I'm not sure I can live with a movement swap every single time I have a service. The idea that these Tudor in house movements are somehow "disposable" movements is very troubling to me. Do we think this is something that will continue in perpetuity or is it simply a temporary measure until technicians can gain the necessary expertise servicing these movements?
The in house Tudor movements are incredible IMO. Accurate and tough based on my experience.

Personally, I don't see the need to have to spend much more on a 5 digit Rolex when the 6 digits are tops.
