My experience: I have a 43 year old Citizen cal 8110 (chronograph) and other than some light maintenace 15 years ago is keeping time perfectly the only issue being it does not hold charge too long (about 24 hours instead of 38) which means at least the coil is worn out, now I wonder if the same rationale could be applied with a newer watch that has been used sparingly like my Tudor Black Bay (2018), Omega Speedmaster manual wind (2014) or Rolex Explorer 2 (from 2006 but serviced on 2020), these have been used one weekend/per month so I wonder if that plays a role in extending service times, also, remember that for newer Rolexes the service time has been extended to 10 years and for the Omega coaxial calibers even longer.
Oils evaporating definitely not. Just wear the watch until the time keeping becomes extremely unstable. The BB36 for me is the best of the new Tudors and will be a classic. Must pick one up someday.
The oils are subect to contamination, the oils minimize friction, but do not eliminate it. Therefore they will need to be changed at some point . like a car you know how hard it's been driven, and if it has had a gentle life, at some point you need to change the oil.
I don't know if it applies for Tudor, but Rolex charges for the service, regardless of the "inside state" of the watch as long as there was no exterior interference (like water damaging the mouvement). Whether the entire mouvement was worn everyday for 20 years with damage from oil or friction, it will be the same price even if they have to change half of the mouvement
I read somewhere if you send your Tudor into the warranty service the SC just replaces the whole ETA movement but if you send your Kinissi movement Tudor in to a service they disassemble the movement and service it and put it back to your watch. BTW I have the Black Bay 58 and love it very much,
Here is my 20 cents. Being an engineer one thing I can wholeheartedly recommend is stick to your manufacturer’s recommendations in your watch manual. You cant go too far wrong than. Should you have a problem with timekeeping before, than get it serviced earlier. In certain instances for example cars, I don’t believe a 2 year service interval is good for longevity despite of manufacturer’s recommendations. But watches are a different kind of animal.
I love Tudor watches. I cannot afford to buy them though. So I buy Chinese watches that have cases that look sort of like Tudors and run them either on NH35 or clone 2824 movements. The Chinese have done a good job of copying Tudor and Rolex so the unwashed masses can enjoy watches with you. I appreciate your video and your Tudor watch is beautiful!
Thank you. and I'd say give vintage a try if you can't afford modern. Good solid gold vintage watches start with $500, but stainless steel is way cheaper. See examples on my channel
@@QuartzCrisis Where I live now which is Panama, its not practical to try and buy used watches. We have nothing but shade tree watch makers here. Otherwise, you are right, a vintage watch would be a good idea.
If you have multiple watches 10 plus will the ones that are not worn very often last longer while in a watch box or is it the same as the watches worn more often.
Hi! This is a very interesting question for me. I have Longines Conquest 9 years old with the same movement. It has an accuracy of about -2 sec per day and a power reserve of 35-38 hours (Depending on the activity). The amplitude is about 300 degrees. My watchmaker told me: relaxing about 1-2 years and then come back. What is the accuracy and power reserve of your bb36?
Also the movement in Longines is not exactly the same. See my older video and pay attention to all I say about the ETA movements in Black Bays ruclips.net/video/y8kCQqbStP4/видео.html
If I owned one of these I might have it serviced after 7 years just to have the opportunity to replace the snowflake hands with Mercedes ones.... (if they had a 3,6,9 dial going spare then they could throw that in as well)
Everytime you start your car, you damage it. So , it's just how far down the road is the damage going to be and when it's needed. Note I only have 2 automatics, both ETA 2824 (or selitta i think). I am not sure I want to continue with Automatics anymore adn go back to my super duper low maintenance swiss quartz watches. It's just the nicer watches are always autos lol
Make friends with a good independent watchmaker (they are out there!) --- they'll be able to tell you in about 1min of opening up the back of the watch if its service time. Serice is now just another racket for the big guys.
The oils have evaporated OMG! Listen, service your watch when it starts loosing time... like a 40-60s a day. Oh and spoiler alert : 90% they gonna just replace the whole movement... so postpone that expense as much as possible.
@@QuartzCrisis No, I watched the video. and it's great, but yes... that 40%: Seven years have passed and now I know that I am damaging my watch. If your watch is running too fast, or too slow... than there's some extra pressure on the components, but if it's in spec... than it's fine. Whatever wear there is...metal on metal, because you think the watch is dry, will show itself on the timegrapher. That's it... enjoy your Tudor for the next seven years. It's a great piece.
You are not damaging anything as long as it runs right. It would not run right if oils or something else would be going bad. Marketing bulshit. Save your money.
I don't know where you get these ideas... You let you imagination run wild. Lot's of conjecture here... You are so pleasant though I don't mind your foolishness.

it depends on power reserve and how many hours you worn it

Accuracy is about +1/day I haven't measured the power reserve

@QuartzCrisis Thanks i will see. My bad, my Longines has movement eta2824-2

Service your watch when it stops working completely, no sooner.
Great po😊int about longer power reserves, sometimes more is not better 😊
Excellent video. Thanks

Look into vintage, including watches I talk about on my channel. There are a lot of "nicer" battery-powered watches vs modern autos

Modern oils are synthetic, oils don’t harden up anymore.
Correct!

Oils are gone, so you're wearing down your parts. Yes, I would expect it to still run right without the oils.. for some time
