    My watch is losing time each day. Any ideas why apart from needing a service? I live in the UK.

    Can you recommend anyone who does a decent job at a reasonable price. I am looking on the net, but need advice. Thanks!

    Is it consistently losing the same amount each day?

    And do you know when its last service was?

    No idea when it was last serviced, loses about 2 mins in 24hrs !! I only wear it for special occasions. Its a nice watch, but don't know if I should keep it and service it . I really like it 'cos its understated compared to the clocks people wear on their wrists these days. Is the 520 cal a wierd movement. Are parts available??

    Most of the parts for caliber 520 are
    obsolete but movement might just need some cleaning, some of the parts are the same as in caliber 501 and 330

    cheers
