Re: losing time

In Response To: losing time ()

With any mechanical watch service intervals need to be regular. Chances are the oil may have coagulated or indeed disappeared in parts. The slowing of your movement is a sure sign that it probably needs to be serviced.

It is at this stage that parts wear will begin to occur if you do not have it serviced. Six years is on the longish side of a service - 5 years being about the norm for latrer models. What does your manual recommend?

Cheers

About six years ago I bought an automatic Seamaster and for years
: it kept remarkably accurate time-staying within a few seconds of
: my atomic clock.Within the last 6-12 months it started losing
: time and now loses a couple of minutes a day. Is this unusual at
: this point in a Seamaster's life and what can I do to fix it? I
: take very good care of the watch and generally wear it only 3-4
: days a week. Any help will be appreciated. Jim
