You need a new watch.

Thanks to Greg here (odcics2) I'm back on Mountain Daylight Savings time.  It's a small thing, but it's also a big thing (in a 50-year old car).

Thank you Greg!

Nice, you a watch guy too? I have to assume so, given the Seiko 5, and the usual "wrist watch check" pose in your pic.

Ive had a couple of 5's, their great pieces.

What's up with the 4 sec. mismatch?
Is the car running still running on 1968 time?
Geez, those folks in 68 were indeed ahead of their time and we now know by how much.

[lloyd3]

Mopars are just ahead of their times. SEIKO 5s are bulletproof.

Every older broken clock or watch is still right twice daily.

Mine won't dial to change the time so I had to unhook the battery cable until it got close one summer. It's still about 15 minutes fast so I need to unhook it again for about that long. I don't mess with daylight savings time.

My Charger has a build date of Nov 22nd 1968, and I'm leaving my clock "original factory correct" as the day it was born, when the clock quit working later that same day !

Confusius say:

"A man with a watch knows what time it is, a man with two watches is never sure."

I'm a watch guy..I've a TAG Heuer 1500 quartz and a Omega Seamaster Auto amongst many cheaper watches...but my daily wearer is a 1991 Seiko 5 automatic !

Nice! I love Seamasters. I've wanted one ever since Brosnan wore one as bond in 96. The new Planet Oceans are spectacular too.

My collection skews Japanese. A citizen Nighthawk, a world time Chrono, a Seiko orange monster, a couple of G shocks, and a 1971 Citizen Bullhead Chrono panda dial.

I'm itching to pick up an Oris Aquis next.

I've got a moonwatch Speedmaster that i really like but... the last time I had to get it serviced they really stuck it to me (Omega doesn't allow anybody other than them to service them anymore, you have to send it off to them for even minor stuff). It now sits in it's case in the safe.  I wear the Seiko.

[alfaitalia]

Wind it once in a while..they don't like being internally still for too long. I used to work in a high end watch shop for about three years...was supposed to be short term while I was between car sales jobs...but the money was ok and I was the only male eemployee! We were (amongst others) Omega, Tag, Oris dealers.
Once your watch is out of warranty you can get it serviced where you like (like anything else). I'm sure over there, like here, there well be many skilled watch smiths to choose from who would take on the work for a fraction of what Omega (Swatch group) would charge.

[lloyd3]

Omega made the service "kits" for the Speedmasters unavailable to anybody, even "authorized" dealers. What such a kit contains is beyond my knowledge, but previous services had been easy and fairly-inexpensive.  No more.  I don't really miss it much. It was big and heavy compared to most of my more "reasonable" options.  If I ever feel the need to impress somebody (or I need the added weight as ballast), I'll dig it out and use it again.  My kid can have it someday.
