I collected the watch on Monday and noticed the issue today.
Am waiting for the watch guy from the AD to call me back.
The accuracy of the watch has been very good and I do love the look of the watch too.
However, it's very odd that Tudor did not pick this problem up at the factory.
The only pic that I got, sorry. Now it is too dark to take a decent photo. I believe it suits the watch perfectly. The watch sits very comfortable on the strap.

My local AD had one of these in the window on the NATO strap. I must admit it looked very nice. It wasn’t on my radar really, but I was very tempted to make an impulse purchase.
They are easy to find in Spain.

Apologies for the terrible pic but the woman actually came out the shop after me...
Lakeside
I asked about the BB58 and was told “we can only take pre-orders as it’s soooo popular”
I said about them having the GMT and was told “we’ve only got one there and it’s pre-order only”. I pointed out there was 3 sat in the window and she just stumbled and said “they’re pre order only as they’re really sought after”
Talk about a load of bull, trying to get the hype up and create silly demand.
Goldsmiths did this to me on a Pelagos about a year ago, think they’ve still got the same 3 sat in the window there too. The woman there told me they’re all sold out and you won’t get one. I pointed out there was 3 in the window only to be told the same rubbish.
CH Lakeside? I fekkin hate when they approach you outside the shop!!
Timekeeping is spot on. I picked mine up on Tuesday night and set it, today it’s -2s. Makes it my most accurate mechanical, after my Bremont Norton

If they were pre order they shouldn't be in the display case. If they are working models they should be for sale. I'd understand if they were simply non working cases to let potential customers see. But to give 4 watches to a store and have zero for general sale is pointless. I wonder if that is coming from Tudor or the AD.

Yup all hype! Tudor have a great range though now, and the new movements the icing on the cake. You would be mental to pay over rrp though.
I received mine at the day the AD received their Tudor and Rolex shipment. I was able to see the Tudor GMT and the new SS GMT master II side by side. Both terrific watches!

Finally got mine this afternoon as well, really pleased, sized it in shop and not took it of since 😀

Just checked Watchfinder 15/07/18 who have two listed for £3950 each. Crackers! Why would you pay over RRP? They will be plentiful soon enough. They aren't Rolex BLNR's for crying out load.

I’m a little mystified by the date wheel issue being reported. These are COSC certified, yes? Doesn’t the certification process require running and checking the watch for more than 24 hours? And it’s not like they test a random sampling of watches, each individual watch is tested and sold with a certificate, right?
Likewise, running a minute out in 2-3 days would also be caught by the testing.
My brain is experiencing vapor lock. I can’t imagine these issues developing just from shipping.
Bang for buck you have to admire Tudor for value, I like the way they have a ‘version’ of the desirable Rolexs making them accessible and affordable to more

Chris did indeed serve me, he did say you mentioned me 😀😀
Yup got the packing case, he did a very thorough job, two receipts, one in the box etc, most impressed
I also tried on the black bay bronze which I thought the brown dial would be hideous, but really liked it in the flesh!! Still not sure if bronze is a fad,

Saw this on EBay earlier today.

I thought the price was very good.
Apparently bought from Harrods last week. But the seller is in in Canada until the week after next!
Forgive my ignorance, but why would you advertise it so early?

I put my name down for one from the next batch today. May be 2019 before I hear they reckon.
Price is same as you can buy a new one for. It looks it compared to the chancers but these aren’t difficult to get (or won’t be soon) unless you buy into the dealer hype. They’ll follow the other Tudor line up and I’ll be seeing 3 in the window week after week in my local goldsmiths only to be told they aren’t actually there.
Anyone buying from WF or other inflated sellers is crazy.
Wee update:
So I must have been on the glue last time. I set it noon on Wednesday (or was it Thursday) then forgot to check it until this morning. I've been wearing it all day every day except Sunday when I was working on the house.
It had lost 13 seconds over 4 days at 9am this morning.
I'll keep an eye on it but my original misgivings are unfounded.
Edit: I've also got a couple of straps arriving, an Erika one and a leather one which I'll stick on a Tudor deployant that's due from Germany.

I'd ask around, that seems a long wait time tbh
