Watch running fast when worn

[dpkong]

Just logged back in after a really long break and noticed this thread bump. I should have updated it earlier.

It wasn't an issue of the watch not being worn for a long time. I wore it regularly for about 4 months and it was consistently giving the same results. Finally, around November 2013, I sent the watch to APSC in Singapore and after explaining the issue to them, they agreed it needed a service and it was covered under warranty. They were apparently aware of what needs to be changed. Then 4 weeks later, the watch was ready and I've been using it since then. It runs virtually spot on regardless whether it's on the wrist on off and I haven't needed to make any adjustments except when I needed to flip the date.

So if anyone else is having the same issue, do explain the problem and have the watch fixed. I don't know if the 3126/3840 movement is COSC certified but it sure runs like it is after the service.

Hope this helps someone.
