    Hi everyone

    Bit of advice if possible

    I have had now for a few years my Seamaster Quartz which is dated about 1979

    It has the calibre 1342 quartz movement

    It works , had new battery's fitted etc ...but it seems to lose about 2 -3 minutes every few weeks

    Is this fixable or will it slowly decline and get worse ?

    I have added pictures of my watch for reference

    Many thanks
    Mark

    When was the last time you had it serviced?
    Kind regards Max

    My 1342 is stable on losing 1 sec a day or a minute every 6 weeks. That's after a service in Bienne 3 years ago. As that is better than every mechanical watch I have I think can live with it. My only other (non-beater) quartz, a Seiko 20 years younger, runs about 1 sec per month.
