Manual wind - running fast
Is it normal/typical for an older manual wind watch to run fast for the first few hours after a full wind up? Not taking hours, just gaining a few mins
Or just a sign it needs a service?

If it was magnetized, it would be fast all the time. Sounds to me like she needs servicing. How long has it been since last service?

Get it serviced, it's obviously in need.
