Hello ! i am new to this forum, in fact i made a account just to post this thread.
please listen to my story, any tips or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
I have noticed my JLC master Geographic Calibre 929/3 was running abit fast (approx 16~19 Seconds per day)
therefore, i took it into my local AD (Pendulum Thailand - they are certified by JLC as official service center here)
After 2 weeks of evaluation the AD called me back and suggests that a full service overhaul is needed to fix the issue i'm having.
so i didn't hesitate and went ahead with the service (cost around $1100 USD).
After 3 months of service and waiting, i paid for my service and got my watch back from the AD. BUT was surprised to find out the watch is still running 16~19 seconds per day.
After 2 days of testing i even noticed it was gaining approx 5-6 secs every 3~4 hours or so (Power reserve bar kept at full + and from normal wearing, not put in a winder). so i took it back to the AD.
The AD told me it would re-check for me again. its been 2 months since I've heard from them and currently my watch is still at the service center.
Meanwhile i emailed Jaeger-LeCoultre Client Relations Department on the official JLC site to ask about this problem.
Their clients department personally called me on my cell phone and explained that for this calibre and many of JLC's movement it is normal standard for the watch to gain 15~20 seconds per every 24 hours. i have a hard time accepting this fact as all my other watches never had this much gain per day. isn't JLC suppose to be considered one of the highly regarded watches? it is really bugging me... as i really love this watch but the accuracy is clearly inferior to even a rolex sub with COSC.
Therefore i am here asking for help and suggestions of what i should do next. currently my watch is still at the service center. should i just take it back and accept the fact? Any tips will help, thanks!
