Slightly eccentric, wicked sense of humour. Self confessed watch cheapskate, who tinkers with watches. Love motorbikes, to date, I've ridden about 250,000 miles, 113,000 of which are on my BMW 1150GS....

This is awesome! There ya go “precise guy” wherever you are lol 🌈
Yeah, we've had this discussion a few times. But everyone will more or less misunderstand you if you use the term "precision" in this context.
I didn’t expect to learn something today, thank you!
Thank you!
My Rolex Explorer is exactly 8sec fast a day. Very precise but slightly inaccurate. I am loath to get it fixed because stopping the watch for 8sec is easy

Has it recently gained this 8 seconds?

It may have become magnetised.

Lololololol.
First, magnetized watches run MINUTES fast.
Second, and most importantly, Rolex has used a silicon hairspring for 25yrs now

I have demagnetised a watch running less than a minute fast, depends on the level og magnetism I guess.

Listen, it's 2024 and I would like to go on a hobby platform without some mansplainer telling me some absolutely nonsense about how to take care of my own property when I did not ask you to.

Whatever🤔
Odd how some people react to what I considered as polite help?
Blocked, I don't need negativity. 😊
My 25 year old speedy reduced runs at +3 minutes per day. It's not magnetised. Is it ok for older watches to be this inaccurate?

Up to you really, seems excessive
