Hey guys,
I've noticed over that past year some intermittent power reserve/time keeping with my CA. I keep all my watches in a winder, but on occasion, my CA will be like 9 hrs slow. It is not constant, just on occasion. It still keeps COSC time, but I've noticed this happen at least 3-4 times. Can the experts chime in? :D Thanks.

Well if it had a low power reserve going on to the winder then it could easily run down and stop in the pauses between winding cycles. Could also be something like dirt in the running train that is intermittently causing the watch to stop until it moves - that's obviously an indication of a need for service.

That's what I'm thinking Roff. Maybe the power reserve was low when I put it in there. I'll continue to monitor it, and if need be send it in for a service. Thanks.

Increase the winder revs a bit? I had mine set too low. Even if I topped it up before going on the winder, it was stopping before the next time I went to use it.
