[QUOTE="99MustangGTman, post: 16912232, member: 55199"] It can be quite daunting at first, especially for someone who is not familiar or well-versed in mechanical/self-winding movements, but, like most people here who are car enthusiasts that understand the basics of how an engine works and what modifications do what, it's pretty much the same concept with mechanical/self-winding watches. I think this may be a reason why many car enthusiasts are also into watches as well. With your DJ gaining 9 seconds in 3 days, that is definitely not normal or acceptable. For an older Rolex, I would use a reputable local watchmaker to do the work instead of sending it out to an RSC (Rolex Service Center) to save you a lot more money. They used to charge $500m but now they charge $1000, and that's not including the price of anything the watch might need. For example, maybe the watch needs a new escapement wheel or mainspring. It seems like what you need is a GMT. Depending on the GMT, you can track 3 different time zones at once. Watches like my Monta Skyquest Nothing wrong with vintage pieces. I love me some vintage watches. I have a 1952, 1956 (fully automatic), 1964, 1966 Sea King, 1967, and 1968 (Ambassador) Bulovas, that are manual wind except the one mentioned. I also have a 1960 Omega Seamaster I completely refurbished and it is also an automatic with a NOS bracelet correct to the watch. I would love to pick up a vintage 1930/1940s Rolex/Tudor. I would adjust your watch for you, but I don't have the rubber ball needed to remove a Rolex and many Tudor casebacks. I only have the pronged tool with the various removable screw-in pieces with circular, square, pointed, etc. pieces. Best of luck to you! -Ray [/QUOTE]
