Daniel Roth: Daniel Roth service contact?

About two years ago I bought my wife a Daniel Roth ladies automatic (519.S.10) via grey market. She loves the watch, but recently we've found the watch to be running several (2-3) minutes slow per day.

Ulysse Nardin: Winding problem?

Sorry to hear about your problem. I've got the same watch and have just sent it in for servicing along with my Blue Wave (going in for the 3rd (!) time for sticking at full wind :( ).

Ulysse Nardin: Winding GMT+/- Perpetual

I've been running into a persistent problem with my UN GMT+/- Perpetual running down if it's on the winder for a few days. Wondering if anyone knows the best setting for an Orbita winder to keep one of these watches consistently wound. I tried 650 turns/day as recommended by Orbita, but found it run
