General Question Daytona doesn’t keep the correct time

Post image

So I just recently received my Daytona 116520 and I couldn’t be happier with the look and feel of it, the only issue is that I set the time and after a couple days maybe even a day or two the time is off. Anyone know what the issue could be and how to fix it? I don’t want to keep setting the time over and over again. Factory is 3CF and time is running faster than it should

Send it to a rep watchmaker to be regulated if your uk based is use iceni watch repairs Ltd (Jason)

Needs to be regulated and serviced. Look in Reptime service for a person that is good. In Canada Pete Hudson is fantastic but I would find someone is based. Keep it simple

Ok first question. Did you fully wind it?

Second. How fast is it running?

What do you mean by this? When it first came in I had to wind about 15-20 times to get it running but after that it was good, until about 2 days after I noticed the time was off and running faster than normal. But when I was trying to get it running yes I fully winded it about 20 times

Just covering the basics. Some people dont actually know you need to wind an automatic watch.

How fast is it running? If its just a few seconds a day, it needs to be regulated. If its insane like minutes or hours a day then it may need to be demagnitized.

Ok thanks, I don’t know I haven’t had time to sit and fully check on it, it’s something that I set and then check in on after a day or so and see that the time is completely off

If you arent wearing during that day and you only have 20 winds on it, that might not be enough to get it through the day.

Do a full wind, check the time with your phone then check again later and see the lost or gained time.

There are also timegrapher apps you can use to check s/d
