 My watch developed a fault after a couple of years but this was easily repaired by Damasko. I //might// have introduced the fault myself after opening it up a few times to regulate it - perhaps I let in some dirt that found its way to the escapement and caused some abrasion?  My watch developed a fault after a couple of years but this was easily repaired by Damasko.

-Following the appearance of the rate-error fault in 2018, I switched to my [[public:watches:seiko_skx007|Seiko SKX007]] on a Strapcode Oyster steel bracelet, and liked it so much I decided to buy another Damasko steel bracelet for the DA36, and to request a set of //additional// adjustment links to allow more variation in size. The longer links can be bought in sets of 2 pairs, which along with the 2 pairs that come with the bracelet, allow a smooth adjustment in tiny steps, almost matching the difference made by adding or removing a normal link. +Following the appearance of the rate-error fault in 2018, I switched to my [[public:watches:inventory:seiko_skx007|Seiko SKX007]] on a Strapcode Oyster steel bracelet, and liked it so much I decided to buy another Damasko steel bracelet for the DA36, and to request a set of //additional// adjustment links to allow more variation in size.
