I'm prettty sure The ZigmeisterZumba is in Canada. Look him up on the boards.

I really don't think there is anything to worry about ..

A couple of my Daytonas with the 7750 ran about 5 minutes fast per day for the first 3 months then 5 mins slow for the next 3 and then they stabilized to almost correct time after 6 months ...

I wouldn't send it out just yet but if you think it is indeed need of help ask The Zigmeister ..

its been more than a year that i own it. in the beginning, it kept real good time and about 2 months ago, it stoped working, so i opened it and a part of the movement was stuck. with a needle i touched it and it started working again. but since then, it looses 5 min per day. i was looking for something i could do myself, i did not paid much for the watch and shipping it to The Zigmeister then back to me plus the work on it would cost more than i am willing for that defect. if i cannot repair it, i will keep it that way.

thanks for your time and help

What part of the movement did you touch with the needle?

[frankpower88]

i am not an expert, but it was the little "wheel" that moves forward and backward fast. hope you know what part i am talking about. it is goldtone, in the middle of that "wheel", there is a little spring.

[The Technician]

I'll bet you bent your hairspring just a tiny bit when you did that. Try a local watchmaker.

[Zed]

I agree , I would try a local watch smith and see if he will have a look at it , not an AD just a friendly neighbourhood jeweler and tell him it's a rep first ...

(sorry about thinking it was new )

While I strive for regulation of as few seconds as possible, if I see +/- 5 seconds in a rep, I usually don't touch it and count it as just fine.

while we're on the subject, does anyone know anyone who works on reps in the uk

is finepics retired?

[eunomians]

Try a watchmaker. Might've been magnetized, or dropped, or maybe some hands got into the watch and played around with some things that shouldn't have been touched

[frankpower88]

thanks for your help, i did not know those movements were so fragile. i probably touch something i should not have touch ,
