Re: Seamaster doesn't slow, ever
In Response To: Seamaster doesn't slow, ever ()

Not only does it never slow, in any position, but it now has erratic gains at night while in the nightstand drawer, dial up. The weather here is getting cooler in the house at night and I wondered if this had any affect on performance. The house is 17 degrees C (63 F) at night and the watch is stored, DU, for 10 hours. One night the gain was 2 seconds (good). The next, it was six, and then, last night, it was four. On all of these days, my level of daily activity was varied and I suspect that the watch was put to bed at different levels of "woundness".

I'm really not obsessing and know that nothing is wrong with the watch. I see so many posts from people concerned about gains and losses, but I just want to understand how this neat mechanical device works and is responding to its environment.

Thanks folks.
