Sorry, I missunderstood.

: I have already tried and I have my own numbers!
: I wanted to know about others SMP test results
: so I can compare.

That makes sense. Sorry, I didn't understand.

I don't have a mechanical SMP...yet. Though I plan to acquire one in the near future. When I do, I'll send you the results I get.

I have personally seen two watches with identical movements that behave differently. One would run faster dial up, and the other crown up. It would seem that there are more at work influencing the timing than just gravity. Then forces excerted on the balance shaft by the hairspring are different from movement to movement (even the same type.) Just the hairspring alone has an incredible number of variables influencing it.

That being said, I am also kind of curious what positional error others measured in their Omega.
