In Response To: Re: Absolutely Not..... ()

Hey RBF, give the watch around two months to settle into its proper running rate. That may sound like a long time, but it will still be under warranty if it is still running fast or slow. Please consider that the lubricants and oils inside the watch need to be dispersed throughout the entire movement. The only way this can be done is by letting the watch tick in various positions. I get customers coming back to me saying that their watches are running too fast or too slow. I tell them to wait around two months or so. If they still have a problem, I suggest that they come back. They never do.
RBF, I don't think it's anything to worry about. Give it time and it will settle in. If it doesn't, then see your dealer.
Hope this helps.
