Did you check elsewhere on a simple timing adjustment and regulation? Just a question: Did it all of the sudden
just start loosing 15 minutes a month or was it a gradual loss of timekeeping? Was it damaged or did you drop it?
Lots of questions that you don't mention here. 3.75 minutes a week or 225 seconds a week/32.1 seconds a day.
Its out of spec, you need to find out why.
It may be a simple fix thats not expensive.
