Black bay with brown strap.. Love this watch!

Runs fast (+5-+8 per day) Not horrible, and I'm not gonna send it anywhere for adjustment, but was wondering which way to park it at night. I've read the threads for Rolex movements, and I'm wondering if the Tudors have similar results with crown up vs. crown down etc. If there's a previous thread, I was unable to locate it...

Thanks in advance (I hope) Cheers!

as you can see, it's running 27 or so seconds fast this week acording to the official TRF clock

Yes, the ETA is more sensitive to positioning than modern Rolex movements, in my experience. Crown up is slowest, usually.

The perfect answer; I'll give it a try, thank you

Another one here for crown up. That's how I leave mine and it's still running within COSC standards.

Thank you, sir

If an eta-powered Tudor is well regulated, you can in theory alternate crown up/dial up so that the watch rarely needs to be set at all. I haven't set my Tudor Heritage Chrono since last April, and it's currently showing correct time plus a few seconds. I'm not all that obsessive about it, I'm just interested in seeing how long I can keep it going like that, adding or losing a couple of seconds overnight for a few nights to bring it back to correct time.

My Black Bay Black was running fast (approx +8 to +10 secs per day) from the day I bought it a year ago. Took it in to be regulated back in July and it is now running consistently at +2 secs per day. I rest it dial up.

I'm starting tonight. Thanks for the advice.

Try resting crown up, you can probably get it spot on.
