Re: SMP looses time
In Response To: Re: SMP looses time ()

: No. Every watch behaves differently--even two
: of the exact same model. You will have to
: experiment to see which positions work best
: for yours.

I got the COSC paper "Bulletin de marche" for my SMP.The testresults shows how my watchmov't performed during the tests and the report states that during the testperiod the movement slowed down in the crown down position and gained placed crown up so I tried these positions and it behaved the same as it did during the tests. Now I know how to balance the diff and my SMP stays within +/- 1,5 sec.

The easy way is to experiment but the COSC paper makes it more interesting, don't you think? :-)
