Re: Is it possible my brand new Abyss SH21 needs repair?

Congrats on getting it back. I fear my also new Abyss SH21 has a similar issue. It’s losing around 12-15 seconds per day consistently and I’ve tried all the methods mentioned here - demagnetizer, different resting positions, keeping it fully wound - it’s always the same. I will hate having it go ba...

Re: Is it possible my brand new Abyss SH21 needs repair?

Just to close the loop on this one, I got the watch back! I am happy to state that after 36 hours on my wrist I have lost only 1 second. Looks like the regulation did the trick. Thanks all for the support!

Re: Is it time for CW to open a presence in the USA again?

Perhaps CW can select a cross section of US based forum members who would be willing to host a small showroom in there own homes? That could be very cost effective. Think Mike France would send me a full compliment of CW’s offerings for a mini showroom in my basement here on the outskirts of DC? I ...

Re: Is it time for CW to open a presence in the USA again?

^^^In which case you were lucky indeed. However, my point was this: had you been living in San Diego it would have taken you longer to get to Boston then it would take me to get almost anywhere in Europe or North Africa*! *In terms of flying time.

Re: Is it time for CW to open a presence in the USA again?

If you read Kip’s post (linked above) the salient point seem to be this: Although the showroom business continued to move forward we noticed that many would contact me and still buy from the website. They were not coming to the showroom to make that buying decision. Now I’m second guessing here, bu...

Re: Is it possible my brand new Abyss SH21 needs repair?

Probably little consolation to you but I suppose every manufacturer has the odd 'dud' coming off the production line. It's the % of duds that is a better measurement of quality... Yeah I totally get that which is why I'm being patient about it. I'm obviously not thrilled but do know that CW will ma...

Re: Is it possible my brand new Abyss SH21 needs repair?

Keeping the watch fully wound at all times did not help. Additionally, it seems like the loss is getting worse (now ~ -26 seconds/day) and CW wants to get the watch back for inspection/repair. It’s very disappointing I have to send it back 1 month after receiving it, however, this time at least they...

Re: Is it possible my brand new Abyss SH21 needs repair?

Just following up as promised. Played Voicemail tag with CW support. I received a call back the other day advising me to make sure my watch was fully wound but if the issue persisted I could send it to them and they would take a look at it. My current plan is to let the watch completely drain its re...

Re: Is it possible my brand new Abyss SH21 needs repair?

Imho settling in period is a load of tosh. magnetism generally causes a watch to run very fast not slow. Sadly my bet is it will need returning and another case of QC not being up to scratch. I was hoping this wasn’t the case…sadly after waking up and seeing it 23 seconds behind I fear you are corr...

Re: Is it possible my brand new Abyss SH21 needs repair?

Quick update: I performed the demagnetization last night, fully wound the watch, and set the time. I am running about 10-11 seconds behind. I will give it another week and hope it "settles in" and will report back the status.

Re: Is it possible my brand new Abyss SH21 needs repair?

Guy: Thanks for the response! Wow...I feel stupid about not even thinking about the magnetized option. I do have a demagnetizer and will give that a go right away. To answer your other question, for the first week I kept the PR full. Then, I had the crazy idea, maybe it needs to run down completely ...

Is it possible my brand new Abyss SH21 needs repair?

Good day all! It's been a very long time since I posted but I have a strange issue I'm hoping someone can provide some insight. I received my Abyss SH21 on 12/1 and absolutely LOVE this watch. That said, there is something that I noticed that I don't know if (and I know this is probably stupid) a br...
