Re: problem with my Seamaster.....

John, in the first year I wore the watch, I rarely had to manually wind it. I would wear it monday to friday, more than 10 hours a day. On saturday I would wear it about 4 hours and on sunday about 2 hours.

The times I had to manually wind it were on my slowest weekends and that is understandable.

What I meant is that at the end, I would fully wind it on friday night. Then I would wear it about 4 hours on saturday and 2 hours on sunday. Finally, I would wear it 10-11 hours a day from monday to thursday, and on the night of thursday it would stop working and I don't think that is not acceptable. Specially when the watch was not behaving this way for over a year.

Unfortunately the watch has not been behaving well for the last 5 days. Today at 8 am I checked the time, then by 1 pm it had already lost 6 seconds......
Thanks,
Mario
