16710 Pepsi Regulated
Hi all,
You may have seen the post that I bought a 2000 GMT Pepsi, full set and absolutely mint. However it was gaining time every day (out with COSC) However someone I know at Aurum Group took it for half an hour and had it all regulated etc and now it keeps absolutely perfect time, not even gaining or losing a second a day so far. I am absolutely thrilled and just shows what these AD watchmakers can do. |

To regulate it, seems they would need to open it (please correct me if I'm wrong - always something new to learn here). If so, was it resealed and tested?

As for sealing and testing I've actually no idea, that's a very valid point. Can any experts shed some light on this? I don't ever swim or dive with any of my watches. The most water they see is when they get a good wash every so often. I'm pretty sure I've no reason to doubt the basic water resistance? Thanks for highlighting this. |

Where did you have yours done ? |

I believe that the pressure test machine uses for most models is quite compact so it is possible they have one. Can't see them just giving you the watch back without testing it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

To regulate most any watch with the aid of a timeing machine takes around 30 minutes or less including pressure check.Some may want to keep watch a few days after as a further check in static different positions. But for any mechanical watch to keep 100% daily accuracy is a watch in a million.

It has lost 1 second in 3 full days. It's been worn during these 3 days during most of the day and lying flat at night off my wrist. I am absolutely delighted with that and would have been delighted with a second a day lol |
