| Post subject: | Navitimer 01 issue |
Put on my Navitimer this morning ( I rotate watches daily, so it was Navi day) and noticed that date was one day off but the time was dead on and when I went to correct the date by winding forward 24 hours I determine the time was accurate from the standpoint of being AM not PM. So my question is this, does the movement in this watch reduce energy to non-essential functions, IE date or chrono, as the main spring winds down ? Or was this a bizarre coincidence that the time was dead-nuts-on and the mainspring run down when I noticed the date was off ? If not coincidental, and in some way the mainspring energy is directed toward time keeping first and everything else second how does the movement regulate that ? |

No 'power routing' capability. It's possible that there was insufficient torque to move the date, or it could have slipped for a number of different reasons, including a damaged date wheel. Keep an eye on it and if it happens again get it looked at. |

Will watch for a recurrence of the issue though winding the watch and resetting the date seems to have set everything right for now. As I hadn't worn the watch a couple of days it possible it died yesterday but odd to say the least about the time I checked it this morning. I did not think to look at the small second dial to see if it was running at the time. I leave it on winder when it's not being worn and have set said winder to CW and 950 RPD as it does not have a setting for 800 . My research indicated that CW and 800 is the proper setting for the Navi 01. Am I correct on that setting ? |

800 tpd is correct, actually winds in either direction. |

I'm getting the feeling the winder is part of the problem as it won't keep my Tag wound either. Time to upgrade the winder a few notches I guess. |
