William Campbell Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 I have an Omega SMP Pro Chrono that is about 3 months old. After half a dozen tries adjusting the lever that makes it run faster or slower ( sorry, I don't know what it's called), I had it working virtually perfect for about a week and a half. All of a sudden, in one day, it ran a minute fast, and is gaining one minuter per day. I didn't do anything to the watch, even at night, it was positioned the same way: dial up. What would cause this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 Either the spirals of the hairspring on the balance are touching each other or adjoining components, or you may have misaligned the location of the hairspring between curb pins. If you find issues with the former, you may be able to correct them. However, if there is a problem with the curb pins, I would take the watch to a watchmaker.

SSTEEL Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 After half a dozen tries adjusting the lever that makes it run faster or slower ( sorry, I don't know what it's called), If you don't even know what the regulating bars are called, you should not really be anywhere near them my friend. As Freddy states, could be a number of things now. Did you move the correct regulator, or both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For over a week, I did not have to adjust the time. Then overnight it was 1 minute fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteM Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Out of interest is the regulator position you placed it in still the same or has it moved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Campbell Posted October 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Out of interest is the regulator position you placed it in still the same or has it moved? Don't know. I haven't looked and even if I did I would not know. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
