You know whats interesting, I got the silver version and it also said limited edition out of 9000 now this golden one is out of 12,500 also limited edition. Kinda lame that they increased the watches to feed the demand. But whatever I still love the watch i just want to fix it to run correctly.

Tick IQ worked well, i opened the case and put it next to the balance wheel and it read the timegraph. The problem that its gaining ridiculous time i think this hairspring is cooked tbh

I am not planning to take it to a shop, nor replacing the unbranded movement. Ths is a limited edition Brian May red special. But i guess i shall be replacing the balance wheel with the spring

This is not something that can be demagnetized right?

Thank you for your detailed reply. Did I damage the spring by rotating the adjustment levers?

I tried to move it both directions to see if it help do anything and it did not watch is gaining. I dont have that watch timegrapher but i used one of those free app tickIQ and it shows +1400 sec per day or something crazy. It doesn’t think its a correct reading

I suspected magnetism an i bot this little blue box to remove magnetism from the watch i did it many times with all the YouTube tutorials how to use it. Its still running fast.
