Hi Nigel,

 

I hope you find someone... Unless you want to PM Mark and ship it to him if he has time and agrees. I'm in US and only a hobbyist so I wouldn't dare! :)

 

Cheers,

Hi Nigel, sorry for not asking sooner.

How far out is your watch running in 24 hours, and when was it last serviced?

[NigelNorski]

Hi Bob, unfortunately I live in the same town as Mark and he must have me on ignore as my previous PM's have gone unanswered... :thumbsd:

 

Geo, the movement is an ETA 2846-02, the watch came from Eddie Platts a few years back and has never been serviced, I noticed the stem has some corrosion on it so I'm thinking a good service will be good for it. it was loosing a few seconds a day (had it gained a few secs I could have lived with it) when I moved the lever, now it looses 2/3 minutes every hour, I can check it if it helps.. :beerhat:

 

I really like the watch too, I bought it for my son but he is a car tech and can do severe damage to watches quite quickly... :D

 

Nigel...

That's a huge amount Nigel, I assume that moving the regulator back to the original position did not correct it for some reason.

Given that it is a few years old and has never been service, I strongly suggest that you arrange to have it properly serviced rather than merely adjusted.

Hi Geo, there are two levers on the + - thingy and yes I moved the wrong one... Youtube videos  show how to do it correctly lol...

Oh dear, I wondered if you had moved the wrong adjuster.
