Datejust 126334 41 Time Keeping Issues

Hey all,

Purchased a Datejust 41mm 126334 a couple of months ago, unfortunately it's running terribly terribly slow. Losing -15 seconds per day despite being wound fully, worn all day every day. Doesn't matter which way the dial or crown is facing when off of my wrist, consistent -15 seconds per day.

The AD I purchased it from sent it off for service last week, supposedly looking at 4-6 weeks turnaround.

Anyone else encountered this problem with the 126334? I've seen a few threads on here reporting that there is some issues with the lubrication of the movement; just curious to see who else had this problem.

Thanks!

Well if its like you say a consistent -15 seconds per day, then thats one of the most important things with any mechanical watch consistency. Seems like all your watch needs is simple regulation to match your wearing habits nothing more.

Not with a 126334 but with its caliber 3235.

Consistent deviations of any movement, either running fast or slow, are a good indication that the caliber can be regulated. But -15 s/d is really too much for a new watch.

Slow datejust

I just bought a TT, Wimbledon dial and it runs 20 seconds slow per day. Sent it back for another.

I’ve had a SS Wimbledon dial since August, seems to be running fine, although I wear it sporadically, two days at a time, maybe every other week. I know there have been issues with the movement, I’ll have to give mine a run for a week or two to get a better idea.
