Bamadadof3 0 Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) When one is running that fast or that slow magnetism will be the culprit most of the time. It causes the hairspring to stick to itself as it osculates which in effect shortens the spring which = running fast. Not sure how it happens but I would guess if they run them through x-ray machines at customs that could cause it or maybe it was shipped right next to a box of high powered transformers. Who knows but I've had it happen myself. Congrats of finding the solution that was a nice easy fix! Edited September 15, 2015 by Bamadadof3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
