Steelfish runs about 4 - 5 seconds fast per day but saying that I wear it for about 16 hours per day. Days when I wear it less it runs slightly slower. I think this is normal?



When you are not wearing it, it can run slower or faster depending on the position it is resting.

My Steelfish is dead on after several days of daily use. After a month when I go the change the date it might be 1 or 2 seconds fast. I am amazed how accurate it is.

My 'Wolf just went back to BUK today for its first service - I will run a check when it comes back and post here. Prior to this it was pretty spot on.

Cheers,

My SF is a little over a year old, and I hacked it to time.gov this past Monday and after almost a week, and it is still dead on. That is crazy to me.

My Navitimer World is about +27 over the last week; I use http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/simpletime.html.

It was manufactured 3/07, and has not been serviced yet.

My Navi is loosing around 1 sec a day which makes it slightly more accurate than the quartz Timex that I also happen to have :lol:
My Colt Ocean Automatic is running very, very, very slow at the moment. So slow that it's hands have not moved at all the last 3 months :(
The poor thing has been taken to the clinic for a "re-birth" today at the Breitling Service Centre in Taipei.
It has been diagnosed with a slight case of water leak combined with a severe post shock trauma.
I have been assured that for $500 it will look and function as new, can't wait. Will let you know in 6 weeks time.

I guess I can not complain about the $500 fee seeing that this is it's first service in 11 years.

wessa.

I voted fast on my TO Chrono.

After initial playing around with it for 3 weeks or so it has settled to +5 sec/day since Dec 29, 2011.
