Impossible !!!!!!!

Can not believe what my new TT GMT II is doing!!!!

First couple of weeks was loosing 1-2.5 seconds a day. Watch I guess is now settled in as for the last week have been spot on!!!!! Not a second faster or slower, but right on the money for a week now!! Did not think a Mechanical Watch could do that!! I have been wearing the watch running and working daily, even tok a god hit on the watch (see below) !!!


I recently banged my TT GMT II 116713 watch pretty hard on a metal object while working. The Gold rim of the Bezel, right at the edge where it is next to the Ceramic Bezel, has some small dings on it. But there is amazingly not any marks or dings at all on the Ceramic Bezel!!

Actually that's exactly as expected. The grease and new gears etc take a few weeks to bed in. Once they're away and swinging, ie. all "seated" it should be perfect.

But to be absolutely SPOT ON is excellent!

Between you and Mike I'm getting a little jealous. My SD seems to have settled in at 3-4 sec's fast a day. Not bad but I'd rather have spot on please.

I will not flip, I will not flip, I will not flip.

Letsgo,
You're probably a little magnetic
when you're floating in the pool
which way do you point?

Oh mine gains one or two secs a day too but it's not yet a month old and I've only worn it consistently for about two weeks of that month, and then only for three or fours days straight at a time. I don't believe mine has settled in yet.

I'll let you know in another month. If it still doesn't settle down, I'll get the RSC to sort it out.

That blue hairspring really works wonders in the newer models. It never ceases to impress me.
