In response to: RE: rolex tudor info please -- james





I can't believe in all the reply's to this question no one addressed the following:
First of all both have the same cases; although the sizes are different. The tudor bracelets are gold filled rather than the 14 or 18 .
The difference is in the engine. Take and gently shake each watch. You can hear and feel the rotor in the Tudor (which has an eta engine); however, it's practically non-detectable in the Rolex. Rolex goes to great pains to ensure each part, is of the highest quality. The eta engine is an excellent mov't; swiss made etc.
But, an authentic rolex mov't I believe is the best money can buy.
i.e. One of my datejusts is acurate to 1-sec in 4-day's.( That's ok; I wouldnt believe it either. and another phenomenon. I wound up three of my rolex's. I synchronized them; when they stopped; all three were within 10-sec. of each other. Two of my newest were within 5-sec.). I know that was just a coincidence. I guess it was a coincidence; when I did it two seperate times after as well!!
A rolex is regulated by a superior and more accurate method; which is by the "Screw's on the Balance". This is why, a cleaned Rolex can be regulated to such extreme accuracy's. An Authorized Rolex Dealer; will usually "Regulate" your Rolex; (must be 100% authentic rolex); for no charge. Even, if you didn't purchase it there.....
At least mine did here in Midland. I had it regulated in Houston. I got it back; it was about 4 sec fast day; after Sam L.Majors Rolex tech. (name is Ricardo); it averaged out at about 1-sec per 4-days. My other Date model; came out to : 1-sec. per 2-days. ; My '70's GMT; which I purchased from them; came out to: 1-sec. 3-day's.!!

Sincerely,
Richard Bird
