U1 adjustment in CO

Post by Wario406 » Mon Oct 25, 2021 7:30 am

Does anyone have any advice on where to take my U1 to get the timing adjusted in Colorado? It runs about -20sec/day.

The PM is not stuck in your outbox, it will remain in your outbox until the recipient reads it.

Any decent watchmaker can service it. It’s just a basic moment. Have them check WR afterwards

I dropped it off at Nu-Way watch repair to have it regulated. Should be ready Tuesday :-)

Sorry for the late reply to close this- but Nu-Way did an excellent job on my Sinn and a few other watches I took him. Great guy to deal with. Very fair pricing and honest. Highly recommend to anyone in the Denver area.

He is. Very chill, very professional, very honest.

He’s won my business. He regulated the Sinn twice at no extra charge because the first adjustment was still a bit off. It now runs +/- 1 to 2 sec a day.

He also did some great work on some older watches and pocket watches.

Does the U1 use Argon? It isn’t listed under “special features” on the Sinn website for the U1 like it is for other models.

It doesn't, and they have been using Nitrogen instead on the watches that do have inert gas in them for years now.
