My 2006 model Evolution loses about a minute a week. I've spoken to my jeweler/auth.dealer and they say that's carachteristic of an automatic movement. Hmmm Please tell they don't know what they're talking about. I baby this watch, keep it in a winder when not wearing . Does not see rough service or water. Should I send it in, do something different? |

Well it's a COSC certified watch so -4 to +6 seconds a day is 'normal'. Ordinarily the watch would need servicing, but if it's a 2006 it shouldn't need that yet - I'd push the AD to take a look - presumably warranty is expiring soon!! |

Looks like the ADs need to be reminded of 1 of the reasons someone will pay upwards of £1500 for a watch. When you can buy a radio controlled watch which keeps better time for a fraction of the cost of a 'ling it's pretty poor that they aren't taking these guys expectations seriously. Go back, take your COSC cert with you, and insist that they get them sorted. |

The advice you've got is indeed the way to go. What happened when you re-visited the AD? |

I don't understand what these ADS not wanting to take a look at these watches, what is the problem, you pay so much money and they don't want to look at the watch? hmm i think theres a reason why people pay more than 2000 dollars for these babies. Have them look at it, enough of this!! Regards Nick |
