Ektelon Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Hi all, I purchased an Ebel from Josh a while ago. I haven't worn it much but have recently started to put it in the rotation. I have noticed that I am losing about 5-6 minutes a day. Does anyone know if there is an easy fix for the home tinkerer? I just read Rolexman's post on his breakdown and service of the 7750 and am not near that skill level but I can take the back off turn a screw if needed. Any ideas?

freddy333 Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 The only thing you can do is to be sure the watch is fully wound. Manually wind it (slowly) 40 turns, set it down on a table, dial-up, & check it in 32 hours. If it is keeping time, then you just need to either give it a manual boost (wind) before wearing or get a winder to keep the mainspring charged. If it is loosing time, then, like most reps, the movement requires an overhaul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ektelon Posted June 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Thanks freddy333, I just tried this also ( I know, "Search" is my friend) and it seems to be helping. Only losing about 2 minutes a day now. I will open it back up and adjust once more. Thanks for your response, E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
