Have you tried tweaking the 'needle' of the regulator? That might help... If not, best of luck finding a watchsmith :good:

Rex is the man for servicing movements unless you are fortunate enough to have a relationship with The Zigmeister of course. Besides The Zigmeister, Rex is the best at servicing movements

Bro, the only tools you'd need are a pair of dish-washing rubber gloves, and a cocktail stick/tooth pick :)

Put the gloves on, and, with gradual thumb pressure, unscrew the caseback.

Remove the gloves, so you have better fine controll, and with the tooth pick, gently ease the 'needle' of the regulator over to the right by 3 'points' on the engraved scale. (I believe that would translate to speeding the movement by five minutes per mark, so 15 minutes overall)

Put the gloves back on, and replace the caseback. (just make sure the o ring is properly seated before replacing the caseback)

You might want to initially try moving the 'needle' a single point at a time, just to double check the results, but honestly, it's very easy to do, and doesn't require specialist tools :)

Best of luck :):good:
