Cal. 3303 accuracy!

Dear all,

After posting my message that my newly bought AC chrono is gaining over 20 seconds/day a few days before. I was advised that my watch may be magnetised. I started to time my watch every hour to ascertain whether its gain is uniform throughout the day or not.

To my surprise, my watch only gain 3 to 4 second during the most of the day and it start runnning "crazy" fast between the hour 7-9 pm. The gain within that period of time is over 15 seconds! This pattern has been observed for 2 days and I will keep timing that.

Did anyone have ever experienced that? Thank you very much.
