Hi, I have an A2824 in a ZF Black Bay 58 that's about 2 months old.
I regulated it perfectly about a month ago, but haven't worn it much since. It's on a watch winder at the lowest setting (spin 2 minutes/rest 18 minutes).
Every time I walked past the shelf, I noticed the A2824 was running faster than my other watches.
So today, I graphed it again and saw it is running 40~60 sec/day fast. This was at a low amplitude (~200), because it came straight out of the watch winder.
I suspected magnetism first, so I demagnetized it. But it didn't change the measurements.
INTERESTINGLY, when I wound up the watch more and got the amplitude to +300, the measurements went back down to 0 sec/day.
I've never experienced something like this before on my ETA 2824's or SW200, and I'm very curious as to why a lower hairspring tension would result in faster beat rate.
Has anyone experienced this or know why this might happen?
thanks
