GMT Master II 116710, continued issues, is it me?
I bought the watch new in 2009 from an AD. After 11-12 years it would stop overnight so I would charge it and continue wearing until a few months later it would do the same. It got to where I would charge it daily and wear it and the next morning it was stopped 3-4 hours prior.
It went to RSC via an AD in early 2022 and came back and was good until around 2 wks the same issue where it would be stopped at night. I'd charge it with 40 winds and the same issue after around 2-3 weeks. So the AD sent it back to RSC and it came back late summer. Same issue after around 2 weeks. I had to ask myself if I was moving around enough to give it charge. I sit at a desk a lot and my schedule is random as some times I get called out into the field and then back to my desk. I even began wearninig it on dog walks and morning runs to see if that would help. It extended the life to around 2.5-3 wks. Now AD is not so excited to see me and I understand they pay out of pocket for shipping is what they told me. Now they have had it on a winder set to 600 rotations in 24 hours. The 2 week mark has been today and they sent me this photo and said all is good. My issue is that its been on this winder non stop the last 14 days and so not really replicating my usage. This next week will be the tell tell time as this is typically when it stops. AD said the 600 rotations is what would be considered normal wear and anything less is not normal. So my question is, could this be me and my lack of movement? Ive been at the same job since I bought this in 2009 and again for many years it ran like a champ and I never charged it just for the sake of charging it and wore it non stop daily. I have a panda and it does not have this issue, but my AD tells me it has a longer charge reserve. Advice or opinions please. Thanks! |
