I don't know Jeff, sounds like a small sample size for anyone to take an educated guess

jeffgo888 · 8 December 2023, 04:01 AM

sorry
its been like this for weeks now...and I got this BNIB, year 2018

Stan Cooper · 8 December 2023, 04:24 AM

Four minutes per day? Have you tried winding it manually 40 plus turns of the crown?

Hi Stan
yes, but its also been on the winder all this time

dnd2984 · 8 December 2023, 04:36 AM

Is it 4 mins per day, or is it off 4 mins since last time you put it on winder? If so when was the last time you checked?

ArtNouveau · 8 December 2023, 04:49 AM

First off I don’t use winders so that proves nothing to me. Secondly, my BLRO also attained in December 2018 started slowing down at around two years. A free trip to the RSC then, it’s been spot on since.
I would wind it fully and wear for a few days before coming to any conclusions.

My thought before even opening the thread.

Good advice already given. Good luck Jeff!

Wind it 20 times in the morning.

Set the time according to time.is

Wear the watch the full day.

12 hours later, check how accurate it is comparing it to time.is

Let us know.

That won't be a full wind. I'd say 40 rather than 20.

If I'm checking accuracy over just a 12h period I'd rather start at a half-wounded watch, would in theory give you a better indication if something is wrong.

In theory the better test would be a full wind till the clutch sets in and then put down it in different positions over the next 3 days to see when the reserve runs out and how accurate it is keeping time over that period.

A 12h test is however a great quick indicator.

jeffgo888 · 8 December 2023, 05:46 AM

thanks everyone

I did a full wind right now, and will wear it rest of day thanks

Are you saying it lost 2 mins in 2 days? That does not sound right.

If still within warranty, send it in. Even if not, send for service.

Unlikely as it was a 2018 purchase - unless it was bought in late December.

Andad · 8 December 2023, 05:29 PM

C’mon Jeff, “Pepsi” not nearly enough info to date it??

It could be 69 years old and in need of a service.
