Hi, im new on forum.
My skydweller is speeding a bit.
How do you put your skydweller for night to slow it ?

You’ll have to experiment and find out for yourself. The watch isn’t deliberately set to lose in a particular position.

There was another post on this. They recommended, and I found to be true for my GMT-II watch, that placing it on it's side with Stem Up would cause the watch to run the slowest. Don't know if this is generally applicable to other watches, but seems to be the case for me (and I used WatchTracker to time it in various night-time positions so for my watch this seems to be the slowest position).

My DJ41 is crown down and crown right for negative speed. Maybe a watchmaker could pop it on their machine and find negative positions for you?

I bought a new Yacht Master last June and found that it was gaining 2 minutes a week. I sent it in for inspection and Rolex (NY) did some work on it, but did not specify what they had done. Someone on this site suggested that I place it on edge at night, crown down. That worked well. I noticed that ever since, the watch keeps almost perfect time, within a second a week, quite amazing. Unfortunately, the watch sometimes stops while I'm wearing it. Rolex has it again, but I'm not expecting much.

+1 on crown up or down if i had to take a wild guess.

All work done in the good ol’ U.S. of A.
