Eta Tudor BB accuracy?

Current timing run of 19 days . . .

0.0s





I like this watch better than any I have ever owned . . . /puts on flame protector . . . including Rolex.

The supplied Nato is simply amazing, but I guess it would be if it is good enough for the Vatican!

I have a couple of ADs around here that still have a few ETAs in stock and I almost want to buy as an investment as I can see them being a real collectors item in 10-15 years. But I figure the S&P will do better.

Mine is the blue.

My recently bought ETA black version has similar performance. Literally outperform a lot of quartz watches. Absolutely amazing.

Even on the OF, I've heard nothing but praises for the Tudor Heritage BB 's top grade ETA 2824 movement. My favourite is the Red Triangle BBB
Impressive and super reliable ,they are modified according to Tudor's specifications with the addition of some sort of shock protection system aren't they ?

Just a friendly advice Sir.Try not to excessively hand wound the ETA 2824 based movement(automatic rotor preferable) because it doesnt handle stress manual winding very well

My BB runs close to perfect, too, as do my three other ETA Tudors in fact, but they have all been regulated at the RSC.

So special this watch.









The Cabernet Bezel !

I took it Amsterdam which surprised me as I always bring GMT but was on vacation and didn't care about time anywhere but where I was at.

You must have gotten lucky! Mine was + 2.5 sec/ day for a while and now it's at -2.5 / day

My Ranger, with the same 2824 movement, started out +3s/d and now is -1.5s/d after two years. RSC has checked it out and apparently all is ok.

Mine was 11 seconds consistently fast from the get go and after 1-2 years took it to Wynn AD and he settled it down and now perfect.

I've found the in-house to be fantastic

That's cool the ETA are good in the BBs. I have the in-house MT5612 in my new 79733N, that's good, too -- it's doing about +0.5 (only a couple days in so far though).
