Wacky GMT
My watch has been losing time. I set it yesterday and it was running 10 minutes behind. I set it 10 minutes ahead on purpose this morning thinking it'll even out and it's still running 10 minutes ahead. I'm confused.

Welcome to the world of vintage! J/K probably just needs servicing.
I had a Panerai that would always stop at 9:23...a service took care of it. |

I hope they don't polish it. Looks perfect the way it is.

I thought you only just got this Kyle? Did it not come with a guarantee and when was it last serviced? Could be magnetised?

The first symptoms of a watch becoming magnetised it will speed up run very very erratic or come to a complete stop and refuse to start.
