rip Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Hi i have a sub with a 21j in it. Its about 1 year old, and it keeps driving me crazy. I used to be quite accurate, not very. I just tested it, I wound it fully up, placed it on the cunter next to a digital watch and waitet 2days. And it was spot on! I was amazed, so I wounded the bastard up, and gave it a second go, and i kept its time again. yeah!, you may think. Well, so did I... But the problem is that my watch knows I am wearing it, and then it goes crazy being accurat one hour and the next maybe 5min slow, then accurat for one hour then it can stop a little, and the next hour be 30min wrong, then 5 min osv. IT NEVER WORKS WHEN I WEAR IT FFS! Anyone know whats wrong with it? I am seriously concidering a quartz, and i dont like quartz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 A bit of a longshot, but it might be magnetized. Take the watch to a watchmaker & have him demagnetize it (it takes a few seconds & nothing needs to be disassembled). If it still behaves erratically, the movement needs servicing or replacement.

Toadtorrent Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 I had a similar problem and it ended up to be a slipped minute hand. You wouldn't notice it was loose under normal circumstances but it was. Resetting them solved the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member X Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 (edited) Either that or you have some weird magnetic field around you lol Do street lights flicker when you walk by?!? Edited May 6, 2009 by Member X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nnomad Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 well guess ive been near some strong magnets since i work at a hospital. .............i wonder.....................since that type of equipment generates a magnetic field powerfull enough to.....lets say.............. restart a dead planet............that might explain it.

fakemaster Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Rep or not it's an auto watch so you need to service it every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
