Very rare thing!
Hi to all!
Last Monday my watch has run slow by almost 2 hours. That surprise me because the Sunday when i left my watch in the drawer the watch was perfectly on time and it never has accuracy problems on the contrary is always a very accurate timepiece. Afterwards, I don't set the right time because i want to follow the consistency of the watch in relation with the real time and see if it going to run even slower or if it will run faster in some way. Since then the watch is still running 2 hours behind the real time neither more nor less. So it take me to think that this might be a lonely event, but it still worry me what could have happened? Any opinion? |

I assume your watch is a Rolex but since you did not indicate I have to ask.
What kind of watch is it? What model? How old is it?

the power reserve was running low and the watch probably slowed down. Then after you start wearing it again it continued to run.

It could be the power reserve. Give her the required turns.

Hmmm.... if I remember correctly in the Tech section of this forum, when the reserve runs low, the speed of the tic-toc increases.....  Correct me if I am wrong...

These are mechanical watches that wearing alone will not keep the wind at max unless your very active.

I knew a guy that had had his date just for over a year and never winded it before because the seller at the store told him he did not have to since it was a self-winding watch. Later I knew that many people do the same. Rolexes as every other self-winding watch should be winded when not used everyday and it is recommended more less 40 turns of the crown to be fully winded. But I'm sure you knew this already ;)
