Quality of Tudor in-house movements
Hello every one,
With Tudor releasing all these hot models (GMT, 58, etc.) all with a in-house engines that are quite close to Rolex specs in terms of accuracy and power reserve... I have a question for our forum experienced watchmakers that probably have serviced Tudor in-house movements (@Rikki, @Vanessa CW21, @SearChart, etc.): What is your opinion on these movements, comparable to Rolex, in terms of ease of servicing, reliability, quality (i.e. machining, tolerances, etc.), etc.? |

I've only seen one of them so far, but I didn't take it apart.
Rolex has obviously been improving their in-house movements for decades and this one from Tudor is brand new, time will tell. |

From my point of view the MT movements are a thing of beauty, they are well built, and time out like a dream every time

Hey Bas. If I remember correctly a new Rolex Rolex caliber has to back to an RSC if there's a problem within the first five years if its release. Is it the same for Tudor? Please correct me if I'm wrong

As for the 32×× we have all the tools and my supervisor is trained for it in Switzerland, so hopefully I can do one too in the near future. I did see one in the flesh and it was a good looking movement |

I have the Black Bay Black (with in-house) and it’s recently become concernigly noisy. The rotor is audible from an arm distance away and when I tap on the case/crystal I can hear and feel the movement vibrating. The watch is a couple months old and was purchased from an AD. It almost sounds like something has come loose. Has anyone heard of this before? Cause for concern? It’s going back to the AD next week, where I may trade it in, but my bigger concern is a diminished confidence in the Tudor movements. Any insights would be appreciated.
