GMT II "Z" serial time keeping issue

[birdieman]

I am the owner of a 3 month old GMT II Z serial with 3185. purchased new BNIB from an AD

As I put on my watch this morning. I noticed the date said the 15th. It was the 16th. The watch stated it was 9:41 pm(based on where the 24 hr was located). It was like the watch stopped working soon after I took it off for the night.

This is the second time in the last month that the watch has done this.

Also it seems that the watch will also run a littel fast +2-3 minutes from 6:30am - 9:30 pm as the day goes on.

FYI, I wear the watch all day(6am-8pm) during the week and weekend. It has been on my wrist those hours since the day i purchased it from an AD.

I know this not normal. Just looking for some thoughts on where to go from here.

should I talk with the AD, go back to RSC?? wind the watch more often??

Thanks for all of the help

BTY - Forum is great and I have learned a TON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Talk to your AD For Sure! ASAP!

I would give it a full wind, then watch it for a few day's. Their is the possibility that it is not getting enough motion on your wrist to keep it wound properly. I have to wind mine often, mainly due to not being on my wrist all the time.

thanks for the reply.

Do you wear yours on a daily basis???

How many hours in day should I have to wear the watch to avoid winding. I was under the impression that the power reverve is something like 36 hours.

Is it possible that the power reserve is not "recharging"??? just a thought

I would also give it a full manual wind, and observe it. Power reserve should be > 40 hours. On my GMT, it is close to 45. If this issue occurs again, take it back to the AD quickly and it should be fixed under warranty,

I wear mine less than you and I've never had a problem like that. My dad takes his off for a day or two (he doesn't have a winder) put's it back on and it doesn't skip a beat, run slow or anything. I'm not sure about the manual winding? If you wear it everyday isn't it winding? what more do you need?
