Re: New SMP accuracy
In Response To: New SMP accuracy ()

: fast...)

The 1120 has been a surprisingly accurate movement for me as well. My Bond SMP has been running at a hare under +1 sec/day and my 2254.50 seems to run about +1.5 sec/day. I have a crappy Casio quartz "beater" watch that gains about a second per day, so I can hardly complain about my Omegas.

I think it's time to throw away the Casio, though...
