When to take fresh serviced explorer for adjustment
Hi all, just got back my 114270 from a local watchmaker for a full service and it’s still running a bit fast. On wrist I’m getting +2.5 and resting crown down some nights are +3 and others +5. Last night I went crown up and it’s already +7. I had read on here that crown up should slow it down. Also hand winding is still not a smooth and has a faint click. This is my first experience with cal 3130 so I’m not sure it that is the norm. Would you guys send it back for adjustment or give it a couple more weeks? Must admit I’m a tad disappointed for a $600 service to even be asking. Thanks all.

If I am not mistaken, this is right for a 114270. It is between the COSC specs (+6/-4).
Mine is usually +2 spd. You can always go back to the AD and ask them if they can fine-tune it. |

I am from Georgia as well. Where did you take it? I would give it a week or two.
There are several threads on here where some of our fine watchmaker members teach that "settling in" is not a real thing and i believe them because they are much smarter than me; however, i have never had a watch that didnt change accuracy within a few weeks of new and within a few weeks of a service. |

Did you also check it crown down?
As stated, it is within COSC. Give it some more wrist time, a few months maybe. That made a difference on an older watch I own.

I went to Omega jewelers in Cumming. It’s closer to my house and they told me the watch maker was a certified CW21. I totally read that string as well and it seems like a 50/50 split on those that believe the settling theory. I will keep testing it with the Hairspring app for the next couple weeks.

Yes I checked crown down. The only positions I haven’t tested yet are dial up/down. Thanks for the advice. I shall just let her do her thing for a bit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Try resting dial up. I’ve been doing some experiments the past few days and dial up seems to be the way to go. I’m getting an average of +1.8 with dial up all night. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
