Strange story…this watch fell 4ft and landed face down on a closet rail, probably aluminum, ouch 😓…yes, my heart skipped 2 beats…but amazingly, I did not find a single scratch or ding.
Then next day it ran 1 min fast every 10 min, so like 6-7min an hour…I thought its time to go back to factory. It stayed like this for 6-7 days and magically, it recovered to within COSC accuracy like before the drop. It’s been 10 days and still good.
Any experts can help explain?
I remember one member had similar symptoms but watch did not suffer from concussion…wonder if there is any update?
Nice pairing with Aperol Spritiz
Good companion on cruise

Can't explain. Get a timegrapher. Higher beat watches are just weird.
My Alpine Eagle XPS (salmon dial) also has weird timing. But you have to make a chart to have hard accurate information. For a new watch, it is probably my least accurate watch. BUT! That being said. It's still a cool watch. Right now it's been running fo...
Oh my....that is die hard data collection, my friend....I probably won't have the energy to do that.
I typically set my watch to the second vs iphone clock (yeah, lol....) and then I checked every day once a while to see if it is still matching. My experience with what I own is Rolex, Omega and Patek are very accurate (+/-2 s) followed by Lange (+/- 4s)....
I used to accuse my watches of being inaccurate.
I used to accuse my watches of being inaccurate. I even accused watches that I reviewed on WatchProSite as accurate without sufficient evidence. So now, I keep A LOT of evidence! True journalist here! Good luck! My Alpine Eagle is the weirdest watch I own...
Unfortunately can’t explain it either…
But I observed something very similar after I dropped my Speedmaster from the same height onto a tile! Happy to hear that your wonderful watch is running well again
It sure is cool, my friend…how are things going there?
Hope all is well and you’re far away from the Palisades region 🙏🏻🙌🏻
Thank you!
Just smoky in my area. But we have friends/family that have been impacted. Some losing their home. Such a devastating tragedy.
The only thing I can think of is that something happened with the hairspring…
Perhaps a similar knock or vibration shocked it back into spec?
That is why another friend said, something to do with hairspring, like magnetized.
Thanks for your input.
