Why do I agree?
Because a timegrapher is a good tool in a diagnostic manner for a watchmaker.
I rhink that it can induce unnecessary worry in the wrong hands. As Peter said, it may induce OCD2WIS.
When is a timegrapher most useful?
Twice every 10 years (or so)
IMHO, the day before you drop the watch off for its routine overhaul; followed by the day after the watchmaker returns it to you.
The amplitude is worth noting - you just spent $$$ (maybe $$$$) and should know if it came back in better shape.
