Thanks again everyone! Heading over shortly to pick it up.

Before leaving NYC we stopped in Bucherer on 6th Ave. I asked about the Tudor reverse panda. The friendly SA said they didn't have any in stock and it would take a couple years to fill their sales demand. Neither the BB Pro or new Ranger were on hand either. He assured me their larger flagship location [which we didn't have time to visit] would probably have them though. I got to try on the S&G BB GMT and it was really nice, the brushed center links being the standout design detail.

Hoping my local AD might have a few of these new references to examine.......but I ain't holding my breath.

More coming shortly........

The repair was for the date issue and even though my warranty ran out 13 months earlier there was no charge for the work and the turnaround was exactly 8 weeks. Not too bad.

First thing tomorrow I’ll head down and pick it up. So thrilled to get my favorite watch back on my wrist.

I sent mine in for the date fix about 3 months after the watches initial release. I just had to send it back in again! By now the watch is 2 years out of warranty. I'm hoping like you they will stand behind this issue and fix it at no cost.

Glad to hear they took care of the issue for you, Dan. Hope you enjoyed NYC.

You just know what I'm gonna say, Dan... "Let's hope it stays fixed!"

No in all seriousness, I'm pleased they've sorted it out for you, and I'm glad to hear it's on its way back to where it belongs - on your wrist!

[Dan Pierce]

Feels great to wear this again. The AD said the movement was serviced, NOT replaced and sent to New York. He'd also heard [as have I] that the reason it took Tudor a while to get the issue sorted was it could not be replicated until they realized the movement had to be cased. Once they determined that it was resolved. It still has the same buttery smooth winding feel and I will check accuracy tomorrow.

I was given a Tudor travel pouch & new spring bars.

My local AD didn't have the BB Pro, panda Chrono, or Ranger, just like NYC.

Again, appreciate the well wishes. Have a great weekend!

I'll bet this was before Tudor figured out the real issue and that Tudor will take care of you once & for all.

Hey Dan, just seeing this for the first time. You finally got the date wheel issue huh? Man I figured you were out of the woods on that one as long as you've had it. Glad you got it back safe and sound.

Lookin’ good Dan.
