This is really too much fuss for nothing. And even if they did refuse (which I doubt) to repair beyond warranty, what's the worst one would have to pay? Like 500 for a service? Big deal...And one that comes with another 2 years of warranty should anything goes wrong? Come on. I understand the impact on the ownership experience, I've had the problem twice with mine, but really, this is more of a matter to be bitching about and bashing a brand online than a genuine issue. |

To that claim I will oppose what I have been told by Rolex here and not just "any" AD who wouldn't bother. And that is they will be fixing it EVEN OUTSIDE of warranty. But Don't mind me, as I'm on Tudor's payroll of course ![]() Also, as I understand you've moved your "faulty" piece... I do sincerely take for granted that you divulged to the buyer this information and caveats you're so ardently insisting upon, in every opportunity here. ![]() |

I am also sorry if my post offended you. I can promise you, I meant no disrespect to you, or any other member. I try to live my life without hate, so if you're feeling hate, then I will try to do better. But, I took the OP's post to say he was trying to find a percentage of watches that were afflicted, which is to say he was looking for data, or hard numbers, to base his decision on. And there just isn't any. He really can't make an informed decision based on either your experience, or mine, for that matter. That's what I was trying to say, and again, it was certainly not my intent to belittle you or anyone else affected by this issue. ![]() |

My much loved (and hard worn) explorer 2 had date issues when I first got it. A few times I noticed the date was between dates. However, I didn't want to have my brand new watch opened so I lived with it (it did it very rarely and always flicked to the correct date eventually). It was a year or two later I realised it didn't do it any more. Ten years on and it still doesn't do it.
Not sure if it is a similar issue, but sometimes these things sort themselves out. I do remember at the time there were other reports of the explorer/gmt movements doing the same. I mention this as I wonder if anyone with the BB gmt issue has left it and it has gone away? |

You’re correct. There were several reports of the 3186 getting stuck between dates which was attributed to too much lubrication. Another common issue was the 3186 GMT wheel spring breaking. By the way Michael. None of these issues were ever admitted by Rolex. If you read owners accounts on the forum, they were fixed outside of warranty because it was a known issue. Enjoy your ball GMT. I am sure it is flawless. |

I agree with you. It’s not really that big of a deal to me. If it’s broke they will fix it. I still love the watch. Good point about the two year warranty after service. If Tudor never truly fixes it, then maybe they will either A. Discontinue the watch. B. Update it with a new movement. Either way, Tudor fans will probably go nuts for the model that always had a problem, saying they will be rare and collectible in the future. Same thing as spider dials and other such rare “features” of some models have increased their value. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Newer production has new movements.
Gray dealers with older stock may still ship out a few older, bad ones.
