Hi everybody !

How much time have you waited for your watch to be "on time" ?

I bought my watch on 22.4.08 and it's not within the COSC tolerances(-4 +6 sec/day) yet.

She is always gaining.

My AD has tested it and her machine(you can hear the tic tac) shows 28800 and my watch tolerance is -2 +5, and for my AD, my watch is ok.

Why does it gain when I wear it?

Here are the times that I've noted: (in seconds, and +ve)

can be further regulated, can do a 'Night regulate' yourself by leaving it crown up or crown down at night (gain or lose a bit) but to be honest, I'd chill and enjoy the watch...if you want spot on accuracy...buy a superquartz model

mechanical watches are subject to the rigors of daily life and if you leave it a few months to adapt to YOU then get it re-regulated if needed

I personally like my watches a wee bit fast as when they get to be spot on, I know its getting time for a service as the oils dry.
