In Response To: the pleasure is all for me, i am here to help ()

I too have a speedmaster chrono and after 2 years the stopwatch button will not depress, thus I've lost this feature. Additionally, I'm losing 2-3 minutes a day and the automatic winding feature appears to move rapidly at times...

I guess I'm in need of a tune up which is a little disapointing given the newness.
