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.

It's better than just inside. The chronometer specs are -4 to +6 sec's per day. So -0.5714286 per day is just outside of perfect. Or as close as I've ever been.

Eddie,
I thought the jubilee made it at least "look" faster.
