Long story short: yes it shows some tarnish. Around the nooks and crannies of the case (between lugs, around the crown and between the lugs and bezel), sometimes a yellow glow/tarnish develops (see pics below) but they are actually rather easy to rid of using a silver polishing cloth or indeed using a very soft toothbrush. Similar stories you can find on YouTube.
As you can see on one of the pics, silver is as expected a soft material - see the ding on the lug which was only a minor knock I'd say.
Anyway, watch is going back to Tudor to get checked out - winding is like stirring a bucket with screws and nails. Don't think the crown properly (dis)engages. It's pretty dirty now and shows some tarnish so let's see if Tudor cleans it up.

Re: Non CW of the Day
So lovely, but I can’t think of which three or four watches that would have to go to pay for one so I will have to just keep admiring yours and wishing.

The last word on what I can only describe as the perfect substantial dress watch imho.
Sturdy, without being bulky and painfully beautiful.
