Tudor Heritage BB 36 specs

Anyone know roughly what the accuracy / seconds per day out of the new BB's 2824 should be? Never experienced an ETA movement before and struggling between getting this or the new exp... 36 is a perfect size but you can't argue with the new +2/-2 seconds per day that Rolex's QC is promising ...

Also does anyone know what modifications Tudor generally do to these movements before putting them in? I'm assuming it will be the same as for the full-sized BB but not sure

My BBN with the 2824 is just under +4 sec/day out of the box. I haven't started playing around with self regulation yet.

Tudor starts with a Top Grade 2824. They replace the Incabloc with a KIF shock protector and replace the balance cock, removing the Etachron regulator and putting a Triovis in place.

Tudor's version of the 2824 is perfectly capable of COSC accuracy when regulated properly. +/- 2spd is not unheard of in ETA Tudors. My BBR is around that.

Good question. I want to pick up a BB36. Will find comments interesting.

Thanks! Makes me begrudge buying an ETA slightly less :) I'll keep this watch on the cards and hopefully handle it and the 214270 mk2 side by side !
