I would be upset if I had a modern co-axial that was losing 8 seconds per day. […] Seems you are quite understanding.
Well after four days of continuous use, it’s continued to lose a consistent 8 sec/day, so it’s going to be taking a trip to California next week - just waiting on Swatch group to send me a FedEx label. Will be covered under warranty as long as there’s no evidence of damage or tampering (which of course there is not.). Yay.
Had one. Sold it. Complete set. Owned it for 30 years and hardly wore it. Found someone who wanted it worse’n I did. Made decent money on it, but I am certain the guy I sold it to made a healthy profit when he sold it. But that’s okay. Can’t be greedy! Nice watch, anyway.
