I just learned that my stingy dad has been saving money by NOT fixing his datejust which shows -5 mins/week.

Is it possible to permanently damage by not fixing this kind of accuracy issue?

Tell him I'll give him 100 bucks for it...

That problem is very possibly just a simple demagnification which most watch makers would do for free. generally it will cause one to run fast but it can cause one to slow up or even stop.

You don't need to take it to a watchmaker, I suggest you just look at your watch through the wrong end of a pair of binoculars.

It will be demagnified to the point where you can't read the time, solving the problem.

That was close, nearly spat my cofee all over my desk.

Thanks Guys,

The datejust was his dream watch, and he deserves the accuracy.
I'll give it to him this coming Christmas.

If he is happy with his DJ and doesn't want to get it regulated, then you should be happy too! If he hands it over to you someday, then you can get it serviced and it will be good as new!

Thinking the same thing.

After wearing the watch your dad should simply put it back into the watch winder for 2,015 days and it'll be accurate to the minute again ..
