So my 1.5 year old 116710 is now gaining approx. 15 seconds every 24 hours. This has been confirmed via numerous syncs to WWV and time.gov. Kello is showing +13. It has gained one minute over the last 4 days. I've tried the old let the power reserve run down and give it a good 40 winds with no luck. Should I just live with it or send it in? What would you do if this was you? I would't miss it (too much, but some) if it was away as bluesy, 16710, or BBBlue would just see more wrist time.

Is this time gain on the wrist or off? Mine was regulated to near perfection but gaining 20 secs on the wrist. Sent in (under warranty) for a weaker mainspring and now it's gaining a second every few days.

That'd be too far out for my taste, I'd get it regulated.

Agree with tim. You have the bullpen ready, ship it.

Yup, Warren G it.

Thanks for the thoughts. I went to my local AD today who has an on-site CW21 and spoke with him about it. It was an unplanned trip so I was wearing Pepsi and not the GMT2c so he couldn't actually look at it. Spoke with him and he said to bring it in and he'll make sure it's not magnetized. He'll check the time on his machine, and if it's off, we'll ship it off to RSC since it's under warranty.

On a side note, they had a BLNR in stock. First one I've seen in the flesh. It is an amazing piece, but I was a bit underwhelmed by it. Didn't have the wow I thought. I've been thinking of flipping the LN for it but probably won't now. Not to take away anything from anyone who has one. It's quite lovely, and if money wasn't an issue, I'd grab one in a heart beat. Just the $3k diff in flipping at this point doesn't justify the blue for me. Who knows, I'll prob see it again and change my mind lol.

I'll keep you posted on what the CW21 says about the GMT2c LN time issue this week.
