Running Fast

[buz-lh]

My Tudor 79090 which had a complete service in late November including a new mainspring is all of a sudden running 8-10 minutes fast per day. It has been in the case for the past few weeks and I took it out, wound and wore it yesterday. I noticed it was gaining time and monitored it throughout the day and this morning and it is almost 10 minutes fast. Can anyone offer an explanation as to what may have happened? The servicing dealer is in Nashville and I hate to wait until I am back up there on business to have it looked at. If this is indicative of an obvious problem maybe someone here can tell me and I can have a watchmaker here in Atlanta take a look. I would like to have some knowledge so that I can explain it. Thanks.

Buz,
Sounds like it could have been magnetized. If that's the case it should be relatively easy to fix.
Good luck and keep us posted,

I'm hoping that is what it is Dan. I'll stop by my local watchmaker Monday and see if he agrees and have him take care of if so. I don't know how it could have possibly been magnatized but maybe so.
