    My Port Auto is running +10secs a day which I find to be unacceptable. Has anyone sent their watches in to get regulated? If so, what were the results? Did you send the watch back to IWC or can any competent watch repairman do this?

    It is up to you

    But keep in mind that 10 seconds out of 86400 means an accuracy of almost 99.99%. Quite a feat for a mechanical device.

    Mine started out at +10 sec/day too..

    But has settled at somewhere between +6 and +8 sec/day after a few months.

    For me, this is acceptable so I don't send it in.

    Kind regards,

    Clemens

    My Junghans...

    Radio controlled wall clock. It syncs every hour with the Atomic Clock from Frankfurt.

    Kind regards,
