Running Slow after Service

Hi.

In the old days it was IWC policy not to have watches running slow after
servicing. I had my 3536 serviced recently because it was running slow (~
-5s per day) and hadn't been serviced in the ten+ years I'd owned it. I had
to take it back immediately after the service (< a week) because it wouldn't
wind manually (the crown just jammed and wouldn't turn) and told them it was
running slow (~-5 secs per day) and I wanted regulating to run a little fast,
not a little slow. It's still running slow (about 5 secs a day). I've got a
couple more that need a service and if the policy for regulating them a bit
fast has changed then I'll get them done somewhere else.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Headley,

sorry to hear from your service experience. Maybe you should give the watch
some time to accommodate to your personal wearing situation.

In general a watch should not run slow, which is also reflected in the specs
from IWC.

Thanks Cro. The last service was almost 6 months ago - it's had plenty of
time to bed in.
