Broken Tudor Watch? Fix Common Tudor Watch Problems and Issues
Timekeeping issues: Ensure the watch is fully wound. If the problem persists, have the movement calibrated or serviced by an authorized Tudor service center.
Water resistance failure: Stop wearing the watch and take it for an inspection and gasket replacement. Regular pressure testing helps maintain water resistance.
Scratched bezel: For minor scratches, consider professional polishing. For severe damage, the bezel may need replacement by a certified watchmaker.
Crown not screwing down: Avoid forcing the crown. Clean the threads gently and have the crown inspected or replaced if necessary.
Bracelet stretch: Minimize stress on the bracelet by avoiding loose wear. Consider professional restoration or replacement for stretched bracelets.
Date not advancing correctly: Manually set the date, avoiding adjustments between 9 PM and 3 AM to prevent damage. If the issue persists, consult a Tudor technician.
Crystal scratches or cracks: Minor scratches can be buffed out by a professional. For severe damage, replace the crystal at an authorized service center.
Power reserve running low: Fully wind the watch or wear it consistently. If the power reserve is still insufficient, have the movement serviced.
Rust or corrosion: Service the watch immediately to replace damaged components and restore waterproofing.
Misaligned hands: Take the watch to a certified service center to adjust or replace the hands.
Lume fading: Recharge the lume under bright light. For older watches, consult a professional for lume reapplication.
Unusual noises in the movement: Stop using the watch and have it inspected for potential damage or wear by a certified Tudor technician.
