Tudor extends the warranty to 5 years
Tudor has increased the price twice on Dec 2018 & Jan 2019, but they also extended the warranty to 5 years for all new watches🤨🤨
Watch purchased from 1st July 2018 to 31st Dec 2019 will get free 18 months warranty extension as well.🤨🤨 https://millenarywatches.com/tudor-five-year-warranty/ |

Tudor extends the warranty to 5 years
This is correct. It was posted a few weeks ago. Great move by Tudor to meet the industry standard for warranties. Excellent move to extend warranties for owners who recently purchased Tudors just prior to the warranty length update.

It is good news, but honestly most Rolex and Tudor buyers will never use the warranty for anything more serious than a regulation.

Great news from Tudor. It was about time to do it, their in-house movement is excellent. My GMT is +1.5 sec!

Good news for folks with the troubled GMT, although I suspect Rolex would have been good about fixing those regardless.
In fact, before the Rolex warranties were lengthened a few years ago, it was pretty common to hear about Rolex fixing genuine defects even out of warranty. In that sense, the extended warranty doesn't really mean very much. But, the certainty is nice. |

I don't believe this is the standard (five year warranty) but the lead for the industry. From my experience the standard is two years. Good for Tudor taking the lead along with Rolex. |

Many brands are doing 8 years these days, Rolex and Tudor are still behind. My IWC was just about out of its 2 year warranty (One week left), and IWC extended it another 6 years.
They are just following the heard. They should be going back a couple of years and extending everyone who is still under their original warranty period.

And you would be honestly wrong. Many Tudor GMT's had to have the entire movement swapped out and to compound matters, it did not always fix the problem.

Tudor extends the warranty to 5 years
Quote:
I must respectfully disagree Lee. However I will admit the statement is based on my limited experience. IWC 8 years Omega 5 years Rolex 5 years There are also other watch brands that I have not had the pleasure of owning offering 8 year warranties. |

It sucks that you had an awful experience with Tudor to the extent that it has incurred your wrath and personal vendetta against the brand and specifically the GMT. The truth is, isolated incidents such as yours and the “many” you claim reported on watch forums is a mere fraction in comparison to those that have not had issues. |

There's actually been no official announcement on a warranty extension for watches purchased between 06/18 and 12/19, however, in the UK Goldsmiths, for example, are advertising a 5yr warranty for new pieces.
There's nothing on the Tudor site whatsoever. 5 years warranty for new pieces is correct. The other half of the story isn't verified whatsoever. The source for the story in the OP was actually a post here on TRF. |

He has stated multiple times in various threads regarding his awful experience with the Tudor GMT, his disdain for Tudor, the predicament of the “many” Tudor GMT owners, as well as profess his newfound watch that he claims to be superior in every way to the Tudor. |
