I sent it back to the repair shop, Coserv, a couple of years ago as it had sat unused for three years. The work was unsatisfactory. Something was wrong internally. Another trip back and it was gaining about an hour and a half a day. A third trip back and it is running beautifully. I don't know what they did, but they certainly did it right. With normal wear, it will gain about 30 seconds a week.
I bought this watch because I had broken a series of watches doing all my outdoor stuff and I'm a gear head. The electronic watches aren't at all appealing. It has been subjected to staggering abuse - I fell down a cliff with it on - and has rarely complained.
Now, I'm a bit more sedate, but I still abuse the watch and I still like gears and springs. I want something a bit more upscale, something a bit more classy, something with a chronograph/timer, and, if possible, something built for left handed people as I wear the watch on the right wrist. And it has to be tough. Your comments, suggestions, criticisms, or derisive laughter are all welcome.
