I'm In / Awaiting Assignment(s)
In Response To: I propose a "Wind-Off" ()

I will await my assignment(s). Happy to be assigned any of the Heuer movements, including some of the older ones. Also willing to have multiple entries in the "Wind-Off".

Seems that you might want multiple people running the same movement, to catch any anomalies / get an average.

: There are so many different manual wind movements available for our
: Heuer watches so I began to wonder how long these various manual
: wind watches hold their time from fully wound.
: How about we try a community "Wind-Off", to see how long
: the various movements last from fully would without using the
: chronograph during this time.

: It would be nice if we could cover all the different movements
: offered up by Heuer (or any other nice watch).
: Perhaps we could attack this concept this weekend and record our
: communities results. It may also be worth highlighting if a
: watch has been recently serviced to see if it lasts longer.

: ** Auto watches need not feel left out either, the obvious way to
: record their power reserve is to make sure they are fully wound
: & then dont move or wear them. **

: It will be necessary to check the watch is still running at least
: every 12 hours so as to be sure exactly when it has stopped.

: Anyone want to participate in this event ?

: Cheers - Darren
