Watch Running Fast.

A mechanical watch that gains excessive time may simply be out of regulation, but a sudden large gain can also point to magnetism, impact or a movement problem.

Measure before guessing

Note how much time the watch gains over a full day and whether the error is consistent. A repeatable +20 seconds per day and a sudden +10 minutes per day are very different problems.

Magnetism can cause dramatic gains

Mechanical watch components can become magnetized in ordinary life. That should be checked before assuming the movement needs extensive work.

Regulation cannot cure unhealthy amplitude

A rate adjustment may make one position look better while leaving a dirty, worn or low-amplitude movement untreated.

Tell us what changed

A recent drop, strong magnetic exposure or abrupt shift in rate is useful history.

Start with the actual watch

Submit the brand, model or reference if known, symptoms, service history and clear photos before shipping. We use that information for a preliminary review. Final diagnosis and pricing require physical inspection.
