    I recently purchased an IWC 8-Day Big Date Portofino (Ref 5161) from the IWC Boutique in Paris, France. After about a month of wear, the watch is now running over 6 minutes fast per week. In addition to this problem, the 8-Day power reserve continues to fall short lasting only 7 days - when fully wound. Any suggestions to fix this problem before having to send the product overseas for service (so soon)? Reading about the 59000 calibre-family, I am surprised and equally disappointed with the inaccuracy from such a masterpiece of a movement.

    Truly appreciate it.

    This degree of running fast (or slow) is not acceptable. I would go to the AD and let the watch be examined. It should run between the 0 and 7 seconds fast per day, my watches do so. Good luck!

    Kind regards,
