Regulation For Speedy 3570
A friend's Speedy 3570 is 19 seconds fast, according to him. I believe, it's 3 years old, since purchased. I know a watchmaker, who can do it. My question is, when they open it, to be regulated, does it maintain its water resistance? Or, it has to be pressure tested, so that it keeps being water proofed? Thanks!Cheers.
