greekgod Posted April 27, 2011 Report Posted April 27, 2011 Hello guys, I bought a PAN318 from a very reputed seller here. I have received the QC pics. In one of the pics I see my watch attached to the oscilloscope reading a beat error of 0.5 sec. Can someone shed some light on thsi matter please. I need to get back to the seller soon about this. Thanks in advance

Thanks in advance Are you sure that is .5 seconds or milliseconds as a beat rate error is measured in milliseconds and .5 is not bad
greekgod Posted April 27, 2011 Author Report Posted April 27, 2011 Are you sure that is .5 seconds or milliseconds as a beat rate error is measured in milliseconds and .5 is not bad Pardon me .. My fault it milliseconds so its 0.5 milliseconds. I stand corrected
greekgod Posted April 27, 2011 Author Report Posted April 27, 2011 So is 0.5 way off? what could this lead to eventually?
hooky Posted April 27, 2011 Report Posted April 27, 2011 It is normal and actually quite good for a replica.
txcollector Posted April 27, 2011 Report Posted April 27, 2011 0.5 ms is fine. For good movements 0.6ms would be considered the maximum accepted but you are talking about fractions of seconds a day on the balance wheel adjustment. The dealer most probably is showing you the performance with watch dial up. You probably will get more variation with movement of your arm and temperature than this beat error that the timing machine is showing
Rolexman Posted April 27, 2011 Report Posted April 27, 2011 Beat error varries regarding to the position of the movement. 0.5 dial up can lead to 0.1 crown down (which is the position the movement is in most when wearing). Don't worry about it too much
greekgod Posted April 28, 2011 Author Report Posted April 28, 2011 Thank you very much everybody for the info .. So I can give the dealer a green light now .. thx
