I have Omega Constellation Cronometer Electronic F300HZ. I had new tuning fork installed but has gotten to lose time. Think tuning fork is involved to adjust timing. Don’t know where to have that done by someone skilled to perform job. Need help. Thanks.

I and many others here send their tuning for watches to Rob B in Thailand. He is among the best and his fee is quite low.

I have shipped watches to him several times from the US.

The solution to a tuning fork movement losing time may NOT be a question of simply moving the regulators. If the watch loses a LOT, then moving the regulators will not bring the watch to time. You said you had the tuning fork replaced. That job is best delegated to someone who is familiar with these movements. If you had someone do the job for you, that person should have returned the watch to you, adjusted properly and regulated for accuracy. If the watch is losing say, minutes in a day, it likely requires re-phasing. Once it is properly phased, only then can the regulators bring the watch to time. Do you have any warranty from whoever did the job? A worst case scenario might require replacement of the index wheel.

Thank you. No warranty. Paid a lot. They didn’t even lightly polish exterior. Mistake using them.

How much does the watch lose? Were you aware there would not be a warranty with the repair? I don’t know anything about this Times Ticking out fit.
