MagicDrumSticks Posted June 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 looks good, but plus 8s a day is a bit much....? I'm actually concerned about the crooked markers at 9 and 12... or is it just me?

sempire Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 I think the markers just look like that because of the crystal. It seems to be distorting it because of the angles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbutlerman Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 looks good, but plus 8s a day is a bit much....? 8 secs is no problem. You can get is closer but 8 a day is not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notloc08 Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 The crooked markers would bother me too and I don't think that's just the crystal. I've owned one before and had the same issue with those markers being crooked. I really don't think +8 seconds is good at all. Maybe ask for another watch or to regulate this one.

You don't think 8 seconds is good at all? COSC is +/-5 seconds.. Those are the strictest standards and are more than acceptable in swiss manufactured watches. A chinese replica off 3 seconds more than the strictest standards is not that bad if you ask me... That is.. unless you're trying to compare your mechanical watch to a quartz....

TeeJay Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Yes, the 9 marker is a smidge crooked, but it's not unacceptably so... I never thought I'd actually say this to someone, but if you can't accept a flaw like that, reps probably aren't for you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jkay Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 I have to agree ... 3 seconds off COSC standard is flipping brilliant for a watch you are paying $4000 less than the Gen ... let us please have some perspective here, folks. As for the crooked markers, you might ask for another watch but honestly, I see this a lot. Your next example will probably have them, too ... it's a replica, after all.

FxrAndy Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 ands also dont forget that the spec for a non COSC ETA movement is plus minus 20 seconds a day, so 8 seconds i would be more than happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
