my Day/night is losing time.

[cokecoke]

my 2011 Day/night is losing time.

twice in the last month it will lose 1 hour in a day. but it will go for 2 weeks just fine. and it's been exactly 1 hour.

any thought?

I believe it's the BLNR in his avatar...

To the OP, if it persists, I would take it in for inspection. Is it under warranty?

Judging by his avatar Id say it's the cold weather slowing it down

Blnr

Have you worn it every single day? In other words, is it fully wound and causing this issue?

[cokecoke]

yes, I wear it 24/7.

I actually got it new in 2013

[cokecoke]

i just called the dealer, not under warranty.

i never wound it up...should i? i never have had to before

[cwieb]

I would personally give it a good 40 winds and observe it over the next couple days - maybe you aren't being active enough. However, an hour off seems very unusual normally it's a matter of minutes. If the problem persists even after you've given it it's full power reserve, then it is time to give RSC a call.

[cokecoke]

CW.. thanks...will see if that helps

[cwieb]

Do some research on magnetizing- maybe that is your issue. I once had a Tag Heuer that gained hours per day because of being magnetized.

Weird - please let us know once you get it figured out.

Any time that a watch is "exactly an hour" off, my first instinct is Operator Error.

In function, very few natural events are exact.

Please tell us where you learned the nickname Day/night. I have never heard it before.

But the BNLR wasn't out in 2011. Are you mistaken in your original post?

I suppose it's better than being called batman. Theoretically speaking unless you remember the old 70's batman costume it really doesn't make sense anyway.
Ever since the 90's the bat uniform has been all black!

That's enough about batman for one night anyway.

Rsc.

I've heard the BLNR being called Night/Day before. Actually, if you look at the bezel the blue corresponds with day (6a to 6p) and the black corresponds with night (6p to 6a).

Doesn't magnetizing speed up a watch though? And Parachrom is supposed to be "Crafted from a paramagnetic alloy, it is unaffected by magnetic fields" (though I don't know from experience if that is truly the case.)

Seems very odd 1) that it would be exactly 1 hour, and, 2) that it would be intermittent. I've observed slowing down a few seconds before stopping due to insufficient movement, but I wouldn't think you could lose a whole hour before stopping?

A few of us voted for this right after Basel but BLNR won the day, maybe that's why I've never gone for the watch...

Essentially all GMT bi-color bezel inserts indicate day/nite with alternate colors at 0600 and 1800 hour marks.

I enjoy the BLNR on jubilee. Surprised more people don't try that out.

You still have to wind an automatic watch. You're running at the bottom of the power reserve almost all the time.

And day/night is still better than those stupid superhero nicknames some of you fancy

[cokecoke]

Joe,
I didn't know that you had to wind it but I use to but not lately and I was thinking last night that both times this happened I took off my watch to exercise and with a shower it sat on my desk for about 2 hours.
do you think that's all it would take. I can't test this theory now because I wound it 40 times yesterday.

yes,I like Day/Night the best.

Have to agree and the chance of being exactly a hour off twice is about the same odds as being struck by lightening,and in general most times with these huge loss or gain errors its down to owner error.
