Here is a full 60h period measurement. The aplitude goes down but the watch is still very acurate (avareged over all 5 positions). After 72h (60h on the timegrapher and 12h on the wrist) +4s.

Very good summary of results, they are excellent.

I fitted the data of your SUB (3235) and compared it with the GMT (3285) data presented by FlyinHawaiian in post #5259.

Your 3235 watch has an excellent isochronism!
The 3285 watch is not good as anyone can see.

Hello Saxo3,

This morning I started measuring my two watches. In order to save you too much work to help me analyze my data, could you tell me how I can make the same chart as you (it's been a very long time since I made a chart in Excel).

Example of my first measurements

Thank you

I can't help you with this wish because my graphs are not produced with Excel. By the way, few understand août 2024. Anyhow not correct? I would replace it with the measurement date (27.09.2024). Good luck!

OK, I'll be back Sunday evening with all my charts (for two watches).

Hello everyone,

Further to my recent registration on this forum, the information taken and your replies (thank you “Saxo3”), here is my feedback concerning the tests on my two watches acquired in 2024 (August and September).

For my test protocol, I followed the very clear instructions in message #5002

I made 35 turns to wind my two watches, then let them rest for 20-30 minutes in the “DU” position.

The configuration of my “Weishi 1900” is as follows, 3 changes with respect to the original parameters (the problem is that they are not saved and therefore have to be reset each time the power is switched on):

Below are the times I chose for these tests. Perhaps this will help some people, as you also need to be outside certain periods which should be avoided because of the drop in caliber amplitude, according to what I've also read here (information from “Saxo3”), i.e. from 23:00 to 01:00 and from 05:00 to 08:00:
0 hours - 8:30 am
12 hours - 8.30 pm
24 hours - 8H30 am
36 hours - 8.30 pm
48 hours - 8:30 am
54 hours - 2:30 pm
57 hours - 5:30 pm
60 hours - 8.30 pm
Each test (DU, 6U, 9U, 3U and finally DD) lasted 2:05 minutes (to be sure of having 2 full 60-second periods, as configured in the “Weishi” parameters under the “Period” option (at point 2 on my image) and between each change of position, I waited 2:00 minutes before launching the next test for a new duration of 2:05 minutes.

An excellent video, in French, on how to use a “Timegrapher”, including advice on the important “Period” parameter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKvmpRUopc0)

What do you think of these results, some of the numbers scared me. Your opinions and comments will be very useful to me, especially if I have to make a complaint (with what arguments?) to Rolex (I walk past their main and historic building every morning, even though I've never been inside) ... and THANK YOU for all your help here!

My apologies for my bad English, I always have to translate my text with an automatic translator before posting.
