Speedmaster Pro losing +/- 15sec a day ?
About a year ago, my then 1 year old hesalite Speedmaster Pro stopped so I sent it off for repair. It's came back 3 months later with a little bag a replaced bits and since then I have been wearing it sparingly in rotation with other watches.
A few weeks ago I had it on again but found it was losing about 15secs a day. Is this acceptable ?? Cheers FC |

No. It should not be more than 10 sec a day.

You should try and have it demagnetized (under warranty).

Servicing can be nightmare.
I foolishly sent my Rolex OP to Rolex and it ran like crap. It was delivered running 1 minute per hour fast. Rolex addressed that, but even after that 10-12” per day. Finally found a guy in town. And he took it from 10-12” to a brilliant 0-1” per day. He described about 4-5 things that Rolex just didn’t do or did poorly. So no. Any Omega watch worth having, COSC or not, should run under 3”, IMO. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

If it was magnetized it would probably be gaining time (and lots of it) or stopping outright, so that isn't the issue.
If it's consistently loosing 15 seconds a day, then it might just need to be regulated (should be done under warranty).

And this is the only reason why I balk at purchasing an 1861/63 movement. Losing/gaining 10spd is unacceptable to me.

Well I think this makes a different view of the accuracy of 1861
