Nice video, looking forward to your future videos about movements. It's such a fascinating rabbit hole to go down into, especially once you'll start looking at more complicated movements as well!
I wore the P39 for the better part of 8 months, I didn't baby it and it was still running within 1 sec/day. In my experience it is very reliable. I didn't drop the watch or chop wood or anything so I can't speak to that kind of durability, but in my day to day life micing up guitar cabs and occasionally bumping it on a desk, I had no issues.
@@Watchcastage Yes they are really good for at least a few years. I have a bb58, and I love it. I'm just not sure how it will hold up over the long run. From what I understand, the movements are not usually serviced. They are mostly manufactured by robots and computers. This means it is more cost effective and expedient to slap a brand new movement in, rather than fix the one you already have. Some people are not bothered by this, and they are happy with a new movement. I personally don't like this model. I want to keep my original movement for as long as possible. If it breaks, I'd rather it just be repaired. I don't want a brand new one. This is just my personal preference. Being that these movements have only been around since 2018, parts are also not readily available. This means you can't take it to any local watch maker for servicing. It is also not that uncommon for these things to just stop working. There are so many Tudor threads online about these movements just randomly stoping one day after maybe 2 or 3 years of continued wear. That, or they will start losing 30 or 40 seconds per day. They run perfectly fine for a few years, maybe +1 or +2 seconds per day consistently, then they just fail at random. This is starting to become more and more common. I believe this is the reason why Tudor extended the warranty period from 2 years to 5 years. You never see this sort of thing with your standard ETA and Sellita. Just sayin. Anyways, not a big deal if this happens in your warranty period. Likely you will be receiving a brand new movement. But what happens next time? You'll get about another 3 good years of wear, and it breaks again. Now you are out of the warranty period, and will likely pay upwards of $1,200 US dollars for a new movement, that will again, only last for another 3 years. In-house is not all it is cracked up to be. Give me a standard workhorse ETA or Sellita. Something we know will run almost forever, and is easily serviceable by anyone. Almost all watchmakers will have access to ETA and Sellita parts. Not the case with in-house movements. This is my take. Sorry for the long rant.
@@michaelh8854 Not really luxury in my opinion, high end everyday beater maybe? I wouldn’t dream of taking my dress watches out in such an environment. Either way this watch is still keeping time after several jaunts down Fort William DH World Cup Track. It can take a serious beating, which is a testament to your original question. This movement is solid. 👍
When I watched this video, I jumped and thought, wait a second, that voice sounds familiar! But something's missing... where's the "Hello Neumann"? (Those videos convinced me to get some Neumanns myself). But great to bump into you here - it's comforting to know I'm not the only one collecting microphones and watches.

Thank you for your videos. I agree with having a tudor date 41mm.
I'm here for the enthusiasm
What is the turns per day (TPD) on the MT5400 movement please?
Is this a good reliable durable movement??

Been downhill mountain biking with this watch all week, not skipped a beat, fantastic movement ❤️
@@aberdeendeltaforce that seems like a bad activity to do with a luxury dive watch
