QUOTE(nairud @ May 18 2018, 01:43 PM) It's not weird if it is WITHIN spec They wont entertain you if it's within its spec. You just have to be less anal about it  True, but TS have the right to check with the AD and get post sales services. Maybe they could offer TS something spectacular! QUOTE(chiahau @ May 14 2018, 01:02 PM) My old trusty Tudor Pelagos once managed to maintain close to +1 / -1 variation for few days. But it fluctuate depending on a lot of factors. Basically, it's never went more than the COSC's specs and I expected it to run that way. Pelagos no love liao, cuz have BLNR, sell Pelagos cheap cheap to me lar.

QUOTE(christcwl9 @ May 18 2018, 02:43 PM) Yup I know, but since it is my first automatic watch so.... haha. guess I will just have to live with it haha. Asked hem and they told me it is very good as some of the problem unit are having an accuracy of +- 10mins per day 😨 P/s perhaps they just sell and don’t have knowledge in watches :/ Get a couple more of mechanical watch, then you will have different understanding in collecting watch. Accuracy is part of it but it will be less important as the journey progress... Only thing that is important is the $$$ in the pocket.  |

QUOTE(Zot @ May 18 2018, 03:24 PM) Mechanical watch time will drift over time because machining mechanical part has imperfection due to machine tolerance. Traditional battery watches runs on internal quartz or crystal oscillator which is very accurate but over long period will also drift. The microseconds inaccuracy is diving clock pulse will accumulate over time. Battery factor will only comes to very end of battery life cycle because the circuitry can be designed to drive at constant current. If accuracy is very important, then you need to go for watches that sync with cellular base station or GPS. Your phone use clock data from cell station which is synchronized to GPS satellite. Yes, due to distance from satellite to earth, the info delay 1s+ (no more than 2s if not mistaken), but the GPS receiver has auto-compensation to calibrate itself.  Agree on the part of very accurate time keeping, mechanical watches will fade, but I don't see Rolex or Omega or Patek slowing down, in fact the demand to fine craftsmanship have surge as the people has growth in wealth. Not everyone need to have clock that tell to exact mili to nano seconds, in fact sometime I do wear watches that stop working, but the presence of having a mechanical watch on the wrist play the tricks on people's mind, especially the subconscious. |
