15400 at 20+ seconds per 24 hrs.

Please advise if this is acceptable or its the norm for APs ?

Thank you.

I think you should bring it back to your AD or send it in for warranty work

Not the norm at all. It definitely needs regulation.

Not normal and should be regulated.

Just wondering...Have you tried timing it over 24 hour period with a full wind and not wearing it? Just wondering because I've had my diver gained +20 to 30 sec a day with very active wear but was spot on when left off the wrist for a day.

What if you don't use the winder and see what happens, also leaveit at night facing different positions and see.

Hmm if u weat it daily, u prob shld avoid putting it on thw winder. Its not fear of overwinding. But sometimes the position causes the watch to gain or lose seconds.

But agree with the rest. Shld send it in for checking.

If you wear it all day don't put it on a winder at night. That will overwind the mainspring. I find with normal wear my diver and 15400 are +1 to 3 sec a day. With excessive active wear/winding I noticed my diver gaining 20 to 30 sec a day.

20 seconds seems like a lot for a regulation. The watch being magnetized is more likely. Any watchmaker can throw on timing machine, degausse (demagnetize) and put back on timing machine. Should take less then five minutes. If that does not resolve, then send to AP. Back is not opened so it is not going to affect warranty. Something you may consider before going through the expense and loss of wrist time of sending back to AP.

Thanks for your insight. I just got the watch last week, so its under warranty. I do hope its a straight forward issue as your described.

Get it tested for the 3rd yr warranty while you get it regulated in Clearwater.
