Timegrapher

[Al]

My point-again-on all of that was that a timing machine really is not a magic bullet to look at/measure the "health" of a watch.

My point, again, is that a timing machine isn't a substitute for just looking at and listening to a watch. When I service a watch, I do put it on a timing machine, but it's to check my work and make the final tweaks, not to make a sweeping decision about it.

Out of curiosity, when you say that one of your 992Bs was serviced by a watchmaker that you won't use again,

I never said its a magic bullet. When I buy a watch for $30 (MASTOP). I expect a 30+ spd, 200 Degrees and 1+ ms. And thats what I get. Although sometimes it is better than that. I have 2 OLEVS that have l<4 spd, 300 Degrees and .1 or 0 Beat error.

my 992a all run 4 spd, 250+ degrees, and .1 to 1.5 Beat Error.
The one guy I sene a 992 left with .8 ms beat error and came back with the same. The other guys all improved Beat error. In addition the guy I no longer deal with. Said he could not repair an elgin. Talking to two experts from NAWCC they explained why they were dis-satis satisfied and advised me not to deal with him again.

But again I find it interesting and entertaining. I also note that the spd, Amplitude, and Beat error stay higher for a greater [ercemtage pf the wind cycle. I especially notice that on my Hamilton Khaki Wrist. An amazing watch for the money.
