I've tested my watch about a month or two ago on a Witschi for its amplitude and beat rate and -error and they were perfect in all positions

On wrist it was about 0,7 seconds to 1 second fast each day.



Suddenly over the past week it has turned slow for about 5-8 seconds a day.

Offcourse a gave the watch a full wind.



What could be wrong and could this be solved with a simple regulation ?



The watch suffered nothing from a hit or a fall.

Is the weather different?

Temperature can have an impact and if you regulate now then it will be off in colder weather.

If you lay the watch on its side at night, try laying it flat on it's back to compensate slightly, but I would look for a longer period of data before getting hte watch adjusted.

Watch had a complete overhaul in april 2008 , guarantee expired in april 2010.

Posting on other forums have learnt me the sudden change of temperature here , from 18C to 30C could've had some effect.

So during the holliday the problem manifested itself more frequent , it was time to bring it back to the SC.

The watch was taken in for changing the seals, the hands, quick brush of the bracelet and changing the parts that is broken. And it's the part where the hand winding and auto winding come together.

SC told me the only cost would be the price of the hands and the seals.
