I traded a watch for several from a Japanese dealer. I wound the watch about 20 times till it was running and the next day it lost about 10 seconds without a full wind. I know from owning many 8L35 movements that it will need to be regulated for me to stand it. I hate watches that don’t run +0 because I’m a weirdo and have to live with it.

Instead of sending it to Jack at IWW to regulate I’m just going to flip it.

Cosmetically and operationally it’s perfect. Zero scratches anywhere. Crown…
