My New Year started 2 minutes early..

[Luminor]

I noticed my TT Sub was losing its accuracy so i decided to put it on a test. I set the time roughly 2 weeks ago and this morning i took a look at http://wwp.european-union-eu.com/italy/time.htm to measure my watch's accuracy turns out it gained 2 minutes :(

I only bought this watch last June, should it be losing so much time already?

Do you have any observations or recommendations you can give me?

Thanks,
Claude

Bring it in for regulation.

That's about +8.6 seconds per day. I would take it to a RSC for regulation.

Hi Claude,

That calculates out at about +8.5 seconds/day and is just outside of the COSC limits of + 6 secs/day. Some might not be concerned about this and some would want to have it adjusted. In my location (Adelaide) it would take about 3 weeks to do this via Rolex Melbourne. In the States and in Europe it seems that this adjustment can be made in 15 minutes at any AD. I don't know the situation for AD adjustment in Malta.

If you bought it in June then it is not due for a service so you will need to decide if you are prepared to have the watch opened and adjusted for the sake of 2 -3 seconds/day.

Happy New Year.

Eddie.

Thanks for your replies guys. Back in the summer it never lost any time for me i remember havin gained only 20 seconds in a month, but that's when i used to wear the watch all the time. Could the inaccuracy be down to a lack of wearing the watch (but never letting it stop)?

Maybe. Give it a full wind, wear it, and check the time against a known source. If it's still just outside specs it's a simple matter to regulate.
Sometimes they just need a little tweak. I've had several regulated.

It's an easily solved issue. Get it adjusted. Should only take ½ an hour.
