GMT Running Slow.................
Set my GMT II a week ago today and it's running slow by 0.5714285 sec per day! I guess I can deal with that.

And it will keep going slow until you get a proper bracelet for it.
Amazing accuracy but I would prefer it to be 0.5714285 fast/day. If that's OK.

Too much Dan...she's knackered. Send it here and I'll replace it with a more accurate quartz!

Happens as we get older. Just close the bathroom door and give it a good wind and all will be well.

Now I get it. I read "a good wind" as "a mighty breeze"... which might help too.

Dan,
You're lucky! It's running just inside the COSC parameter of 0.5714286 secs per day.
