BB58 Movement - Mechanical Issues?

I'm going to be receiving a new Tudor BB58 tomorrow (I will post an incoming). After reading a recent thread on the Tudor GMT, I was wondering if the BB58 also has mechanical issues.

I haven't heard of any issues with BB 58. I believe it is just the GMT having problems with the date change

Haven't heard of the issues, but even if there are, you have 5 year warranty. Should be enough to take care of any issues you might experience.

Mine ran +1 spd. Very accurate. I haven’t heard otherwise from any owners.

Any mechanical watch can have mechanical issues.

There would be no issues because the BB58 is a simple 3 hand watch.

If Tudor cant get that right with ZERO complications well they shouldnt be a watchmaker. LOL

Yeah only issues I've heard about with the GMT is the date change. Coincidentally my BB58 has been running, like a couple of other members have noted on theirs, consistently +1s/day

Rolex has had many issues in the past. Their latest was a GMT issue similar to the Tudor GMT.

Have been my daily beater for 1.5years. No issues at all, accuracy is superb even compared with my late 116500 which runs fast. BB58 worth every penny CONGRATS!
