Still running well

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for the e mail. The watch is still running about 1-2 seconds fast a day. I am much happier to have it working this well, I was worried it was just getting too fast before the adjustment I did.

To adjust it I removed the back very carefully, tried hard to not lose any screws and ever so slightly moved the swans neck screw, to slow it down. I did need to look up slow and fast in German to get the right direction going. I did this adjustment with a super small screwdriver and magnifier a couple times to fine tune it and then fully tightened the case backs screws down like a wheel lug nut pattern and that's it.

I hope this will be my extent of watch tuning 101 for a while, it is nerve racking on a nice watch like the GO Navigator. I would feel so silly handing a watchmaker a failed attempt, still in pieces. Maybe next time I will try this on beater...ha ha.

Take care,

Mark
