Thanks. I am looking forward to looking at these test results. So far my watch is unbelievably accurate, and I don't need this data. It is keeping +- 0.2 sec per day, better than most of my quartz watches. Yet, I am a bit concerned, that it is too accurate for being only 10 days old. I understand these watches often slow down with break-in, and I would hate having a watch that runs slow. If that should happen, perhaps the test results will give position information that might help me figure out how to compensate at night for any slowing during the day. I would imagine that if any recalibration of the watch was done after the watch was assembled, that the relative speed differences, dependent on position, would remain the same.

: Yes.

: *BUT* these are the tests done on your movement

: Because of all the things that occur in

: certificate do not necessarily reflect the
: state of the watch as it leaves the factory.

: Yet it still can be a decent indication of
: which positions it is more likely to run
: faster/slower.

: Never heard a report from someone who did their

: interesting to see how they compare!
