IWC BP 5002 25J Accuracy

How is the accuracy on your IWC BP? Mine has been running anywhere from 2-5 minutes fast per day! That is a big a deal. When I pull out the crow to stop the movement at exactly 12, it takes about 5 seconds for the hand to stop? When I try to adjust the time the hands are really flimsy and it takes moving it back and forth to get it at the correct time.

Is anyone else having the same issues? Am I just expecting too much for a rep or what? Because my 50$ citizen runs more accurately?

Mine was keeping fine time until the last time I wore it, didn't check exact accuracy but it was within a minute a week or so. Then while wearing it, no bumps or anything, it would stick and the movement was binding. Off to the watchsmith to see what's up with it. Sounds like yours needs some regulation.

Running fast often means that it isn't fully winding or that there's another problem causing less amplitude in the pallet fork, hence it actually runs faster. (Anyone who knows more, please jump in).
