Hi GenTLe and thanks for your comments on waterproofing.

I have another question which you probably know the answer to regarding the accuracy of the A2836 movements.

As previously mentioned I bought a DSSD - Black some time ago which started off at -15 seconds per day. After wearing it for two months to allow it to bed down that's improved to about -9 seconds per day. This was sold as a swiss ETA 2836 movement, but when I get the back off I expect to see an A2836 clone to be honest. No matter, it's all good quality and the watch is performing very well. I will be looking to get it running very slightly fast.

I have now taken your advice and ordered a DSSD D-Blue noob A2836 from Intime and (if the chronometer QA photos are to be believed) this is currently running at +8 seconds per day. After bedding down I guess this could get a little faster.

So, after all the running in periods are over it's my intention to get them as accurate as poss and that's my question - just how accurate can you reasonably get these replicas?

By way of example My genuine Submariner (as you would expect) runs at between +1-2 seconds per day. I adjusted my Omega Speedmaster pro myself and also got that to +1 second a day, which is not bad at all for a watch of that type. So, is it poss to get the A2836 movement close to that?

Looking at the adjustment screw it's fairly primitive/simple and I assume a very small movement can produce a fairly large difference. However, the Omega also uses a similar method (small vernier screw) but after a few weeks of fiddling I got it to the +1 second/day regulation.

Any comments on this subject would be greatly appreciated. I have the back removal dies on order, together with a case clamp to hold it all steady in my hand vice.

Once again, thanks for your previous comments.

Regards

Richard
