martijnp Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Amplitude The measure of the amount of rotation in the swing of the balance wheel, in either direction. Amplitude is higher when a watch is lying flat and usually falls when the watch is in a vertical position, due to increased friction. Amplitude can also fall as the watch winds down and the mainspring delivers less power. Amplitude is a good indicator of the movements health and if is too high or too low, or that changes too much in different positions, can indicate a problem with the movement. great : 270-310 acceptable : 250-270 If higher / lower? Ask for a different watch or have your watch serviced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watchguyoh Posted February 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Ok, so the TD reponded with the following regarding the timegrapher results on the QC pics... Amp must be high .. You have the wrong info .... The higher the better ... I'm confused because of what I read on the post about Timegrapher results...Can someone chime in as to what is the correct reading for the AMP??
