Fix or Ditch

[CorgiKCD]

My SKX is running super fast. Gained 1.5 hour overnight. I imagine they are readily serviceable but would you fix it? I hate to ditch it but it seems like the time and effort of finding a repairperson plus the actual cost of fixing is gonna eclipse what a new watch costs.

In that case I might salvage the strap and let it go.

Try doing it yourself... There must be you tube video on this.

I have trouble installing light bulbs, personally.

I watched the one on appendectomies and it didn’t go well.

ROFL

OP, I think trying to fix yourself via YouTube is a great idea. Worse case scenario you mess it up and ditch it as per your original plan. You can also ask local watchmaker for an estimate

Thank you!! I’ll give this a try and report back.

I watched the video and I am curious if an amateur can pull this off. Looking forward to the report back!

It likely just needs demagnetizing. You can buy a demagnetizer on Amazon for about $10.
