billyfras Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Hi all, I got my QC pics for my first rep today and the timegrapher, the results show a rate of +013 s/d. From reading the Timegrapher Reading tutorial, I know a rate of up to +/- 12 seconds is acceptable. So should I just go ahead and give the OK for this watch to be shipped, or is this grave enough for me to raise my concern with the dealer? With my limited experience, thinking about a watch gaining as much as 13 seconds every day seems a bit much, but maybe you guys can enlighten me some more. Thanks.

freddy333 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Depends on what constitutes 'acceptable'? Is 12 +/- acceptable for the gen maker? Is 12 +/- acceptable to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Fleischer Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 That's not bad- these are reps. Good chance that it may settle in after a few weeks. Remember COSC is about -/+ 6 sec/day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyfras Posted March 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 I guess my question to the members is would YOU accept a rep with a gain of 13secs/day? Noel, thanks for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyfras Posted March 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Thanks MD2020. The amplitude reading was 277 so I was happy with that. I'm glad to hear that you place more weight on that than the gain. I guess I'll go ahead and give the OK for shipment. Thanks to all of you for your input. Pardon a first time rep buyer for being overly cautious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bamcky2k Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 genuine seiko automatics have a manufacturers spec of +/- 30seconds per day...longines i believe has a spec of +/- 12 on their non cosc movements...so your good to go! id rather have a movement gaining than losing, and you can also try different resting positions over night to slow it/speed it etc. good luck with your purchase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
