When I took it to Malta in April it gained 22s over 8 days. Still very good. It goes to show that even these very precise/accurate chronometers are subject to slight variations depending on external conditions/positions/state if wind &c.
Sealander GMT - prolonged wearing, improved timekeeping?

@OllyW
Sorry to hear that. At least if you send it back they can’t claim it’s within tolerances (+6 to -4).

You wrote 'now running', implying that it was different before.OllyW wrote: ↑Thu Sep 05, 2024 9:08 amI wish my Twelve Ti performed that well.

Mine is +1.5s/day. My Sealander Elite is running about +1s/day.

It ran well within COSC specifications for the first few months but gradually deteriorated until it settled down at the current rate.maclink wrote: ↑Thu Sep 05, 2024 1:35 pmYou wrote 'now running', implying that it was different before.OllyW wrote: ↑Thu Sep 05, 2024 9:08 amI wish my Twelve Ti performed that well.

Would CW regulate it back to the correct specs under warranty?

I think you would need to contact them. Send them that photo. It demonstrates that the movement is not conforming to specs and not running within intolerances.
