Anyone else have a negative long term experience with this movement? I have a MM300 that started off ok accuracy wise for the first ~10 months. My watch is a little more than 3 years old and now can lose up to a minute or more a day. In my personal exp…

New Watch Collecting Achievement
So I’ve been thinking about the Bulova A-15 Pilot, and I’ve also been thinking about the Marathon Officer’s GPM.
