Re: Should I send my Seamaster in?
In Response To: Re: Should I send my Seamaster in? ()

Derek, once posted something about if a watch suddenly loses or gains extreme time. He mentioned something about that the watch might be magnetized. So please keep that in mind when you take it back to the repair shop. According to Derek, a watch can be very quickly and cheaply de-magnetized so that it will run perfectly again. So your problem may be just that.

Common man

: It's well outside COSC standards, so it should
: be covered under warranty. For me losing 20
: seconds a day would drive me crazy. Once my
: watch is off by 30 seconds I reset it, which
: for me is about every couple weeks. So
: having to reset the time virtually everyday
: would drive me crazy. So, I would send it
: in. It sounds like there is something wrong.
: What you described certainly is not normal
: or expected.
