AND !!!!!
Let us not forget that quartz ( the chrystal )decays.
It happens frequently that I get an old quartz ( 1310 or 1342 , seveties and eighties stuff ) watch which runs sssllllooooowwww , not a few seconds but a lot , sometimes more than 5 minutes a week . That is something no trimmer can adjust , so if there are no new circuits availeble , the only option is to solder in a new quartz tube . I don't know if this is workeble with the inhibition circiuts???.
Changing the whole movement is drastic ( I don't like doing it to better quality watches , but if that's the only option ...)
Chaging is not always possible , see X-33 and many others.
I think the firms ( not only TSG ) want you to buy a new watch every so often? no?
Greetings.
