Watchlords

I have a 116710LN bought new. It's a very early Z81.. serial number. Two years ago it got it's first service and been fine since. It now is off by one hour. I corrected that and a day or two later it was one hour off. I thought I didn't set it right and took some time making sure it set it correctly. It became one hour off again???? I have never heard of this problem. Since it can be set one hour at a time apparently it can be off one hour at a time. It's going back to Dallas SC Monday. The 2 year warranty just ran out a few months ago. They said they might make some price adjustments due to that fact. I will have to wear either a Casio or my 116500LN. I will miss my GMT while it's gone. :-( This have been a super watch for me and has lots of memories like 50K+ miles on a Harley. :-) This is why a Rolex is worth the price. I paid less than 6K new and will have to insure it for over 13K.

Nice watch and hopefully the repair bill is not painful. Have you given your watch a full manual wind thats 40 plus full crown turns clockwise only dont worry as you cannot over-wind it.

Doubtful it has been magnetized.

I've tried everything I can think of doing. I'll post a follow-up when I get it back.

Nice watch. Hope they sort it out.

Any update, OP?
Would love to hear the ending.

Late update. Due to the problems in Texas (utilities and weather) my GMT II was stranded there for longer than I would have expected. It's returned and there were no notes regarding repair. It was under warranty so I have no idea what was done. It's fine now and that is all that matters to me. Next time I need a service center i think I will go back to Beverly Hills which is much closer and past experiences have been good there.

Thanks! Love happy endings!

Me too.

BTW, I don't believe the GMT II can be magnetized. Now is like a Milgaus
