Is Tudor BB In-House movement worth it?

My BBN is the most accurate mechanical I own at a steady +1/day, and that's without having it regulated!

Not to sound flippant, but what is the advantage of this? I could see the advantage in a watch with a complication such as a GMT hand or even a date wheel, but this has neither. I have a BB Heritage and it literally takes 5 seconds to set.

What am I missing?

To me the power reserve is all marketing. Useless for me. The COSC is cool but even then not that big of a deal...

If you want to put your watch down on a Friday evening after work and pick it up on Monday morning and still be running, then it certainly is an advantage. A watch with ~40hr reserve (if you even get 40 hrs) will need resetting. The new movement will not. So the advantage is you don't need to reset it, or put it on a winder.

If you wear it everyday then it is less or no advantage.

True. That's what the Tudor marketing says. To me, it's fun to wind and set a watch. Reminds me to think about what's inside these amazing machines.
