xslyyx Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 I have a seawolf and it goes +15 sec in 24 hours! Thats bad or? How is yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yodap Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 The new seawolf has 2836-2 in it, which is kind of shame, because the gen uses 2824-2 (and that movement is also cheaper, so I don't see the point why they put the 36 in it...). As for the accuracy, there's a fine adjuster, use a screwdriver, you should be able to regulate it to -/+ 5 sec or even better. Good luck!

krpster Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 You can achieve pretty good results by regulating but it is dependent on many factors...how long you wear it, what you did while wearing it, if you took it off over night, what position over night, etc, etc.. Currently mine is running about +/- 3 sec per day....assuming a regular work day. On weekends it is more erratic because my schedule and wearing is always different.

xslyyx Posted June 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 But according to josh and the site it has 2824-2 "Movement: Nickle Plated Swiss Eta 2824-2 Automatic Movement 28800bph" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shundi Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Yeah...just don't trust the cartel lol... the 28xx series, after servicing or regulation, is generally within +1-2 secs. per day for me.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agrippa Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 I syncronised my Steelfish, which hasn't been serviced or adjusted, with the laptop about 2 weeks ago and right now it's approx. 28 seconds slow. Quite acceptable I'd say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

its_urabus Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 If it was said to have a 2824 and you are certain it is a 2836, why not send it back fo what you ordered? And while I don't own the seawolf yet, my Swiss upo was +15 for the first year I owned it, then one day was +6. Maybe the The Zigmeisterfairy made a visit from the gear white north and fixed her . Good luck with your situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yodap Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 You can send it back but you won't get what you want, as it's not available with 2824. So the return of the watch is kinda pointless... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xslyyx Posted June 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Whats the difference between 2824 and 2836 ? I mean....should i feel disapointed on thet movement? Or is it as good as 2824 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preacher62 Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Whats the difference between 2824 and 2836 ? I mean....should i feel disapointed on thet movement? Or is it as good as 2824 Not at all...it is essentially the same movement. The 36 has gearing and tripping mechanism to run a day wheel in addition to the date wheel. It is also a few pico thousands of the mm thicker. that is the reason that the 36 is used in the rep sub cases. Puts the winding stem center of the case tube. 2824 is a little off in most rep cases. Timing capability, reliability, and longevity should be identical. MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yodap Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 They are basically the same, other than the 2836 could also handle a Daywheel if it was present, and due to that it's a bit thicker. That's the only difference. I still don't understand why they used this one for this watch (and also for the newer edition SOSFs) as the Day function is not needed, and this movement is also more expensive. Not to mention that the gen uses a 2824... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
