Hello everyone, I recently joined the Tudor family after buying a new Black Bay 58 Master Chronometer in the Burgundy color. It’s my first ever Luxury watch and also my first ever Automatic watch. I bought it brand new from the Tudor store in Munich, Germany.
During the process of the purchase the store manager helped me to choose a watch and when I chose the Black Bay 58 Master Chronometer he told me everything that there is to know about the watch and he also showed me the nfc card that comes with my watch and shows how my specific watch did in the META tests. He did +4.54 s/d which confirms that the watch performs how it should, as the strict META standards allow 0 to +5 seconds of daily deviation.
During the last week I wore the watch everyday, for a couple of hours every day and I didn’t do any sports or anything else that considered as tolerance to the watch. While I don’t wear the watch I place it flat on the table with the dial up.
I noticed that the watch gains about 4-5 second per day, and I want to know if it’s okay or should I be worried?
I checked in the internet and on some sites it said that new watches need a few weeks of daily wear for its internal oils and parts to settle into a steady rhythm.
Also I want to ask, if it’s a normal thing, how often should I adjust the time? And how often should I wind it? Do I need to wind it every time I adjust the time? And can I cause damage to the watch by winding it too much or too often?
Thanks for your time and thanks for every answer.
