Help ! My 2824-2 is losing mins in a day

[Davetay]

Hi all,

I recently bought a pre-owned dive watch using a 2824-2 movement. Everything is fine other than the watch is losing about 4-5mins/day. Can anyone suggest a place that i can regulate and pressure test the watch without spending too much ? Possible at under $100 ?

Thanks in advance
Dave

4-5 mins warrants a fully service of disassembling and cleaning of the whole movement. 2824-2 should cost some $300 from the distributor.

Good lord ! Thought it will just a twitch on the +/- ! $300 is pretty fair but unfortuately my watch didn't cost too much Maybe I will go to uncle lim (top hour) for a quote. Thank you very much for your reply.
