Alan_Schezar Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 (edited) Hello, I have a general question... On a 7750, according to Rob (The Zigmeisterzumba), "you should only change the time if absolutely required or only as little as possible on these models". However, I also read that automatics by nature lose ~5-30 seconds a day. With that, how often should you adjust the time on the PAM automatic reps? I like to keep my watch within ~1 min of accuracy, so that would mean I would have to adjust the time every 3-7 days, and that would damage the watch? Thanks in advance, http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=2715 Edited July 14, 2006 by Alan_Schezar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadog13 Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 I didn't knew the info that The Zigmeister wrote...I missed it in his reports.. I have the 196...and wear it from time to time...have it already for 9 months (someting less)...and everything works just perfect...when i don't wear it for few day and i decide to wear it...I set the time & the date and voila!...the watch keeps great time...chrono works perfect...

But the link appears to be dead... BTW, which kind of 7750 mvt do you have? The new or the old? Who did you get it from? I was thinking about a PAM 104... The error returned was: Sorry, the link that brought you to this page seems to be out of date or broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okram Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 So, from anyone's experience, would adjusting the time every day damage a watch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swdivad Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 I wouldn't think that setting the time would be damaging to the watch per-se, but it will contribute to the very slight wear to components and some wear to the seals. When changing the date, although, you must make sure not to do this between 8pm and 1am, best to change after 1am IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanito Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 How about using a winding box? Is it more recommended? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
