·First post so please excuse my ignorance!
Just acquired a Speedmaster 39mm Day Date Chronograph in black. Did not come with manual papers or box so still learning but did find manual online to familiarize myself with the operation and settings.
Wound watch prior to first day of wear (around 25 or so turns) and everything seemed to work perfectly- date and time set easily and stayed accurate- chronograph ran smoothly- was very pleased. Wore approx 10 hours and removed.
Skip to day two- watch was dead next morning (stopped at 2am) so repeated winding and went about my day. Around 6 hours in it’s running slow- have been moving quite frequently so found that odd but wound again (20 turns or so) and went on. This time when winding it was somewhat “tight” and would catch then release at certain points.
Watch made it until around 9pm and was dead. Wound again and it ran fine. Next morning same problem. Now winding seems to get it around 1 hour of run time- wearing it will continue to run but is off appx 5 mins per 3 hours. Laying on desk dead if I touch or shake the watch it will run for 30 or so seconds then stop again.
Anyone have a suggestion other than shipping to an omega shop? And Thanks in advance for your help to a newbie!
