But one of my all time best timekeepers used to lose a little time whenever I flew.
Is it an altitude thing?
Just the other day I ran across the manual for the movement which I have in a GS and the manual outright states the a diagram and everything that timekeeping slows when temps are higher and speeds up when colder. This is to be fully expected as the Balance expands and contracts with temp variations.

Yep this makes a tonne of sense as the spring will be “tighter/stiffer” when cold.
