Just checked on watchville my 216570 has +5 in about 3 weeks is that about right ?

[Chadridv]

about right? It's about incredible.

I think that sounds great. You should be very happy with it. Cheers

-4/+6 is the daily tolerance. So yours is excellent.

Humm...not sure. Maybe send it to me and I'check it as well.

Seriously, wonderful.

And there was me getting excited because my LVc is +6 seconds in a week

[Foxglove]

not bad.

[cop414]

That's fantastic! My Submariner has been right around -1 second per day. +5 in 3 weeks is just great!

FYI using Watchtracker my LV over 1 yr is plus 1 sec. / day. Excellent build this watch!

Your watch has been tested by the COSC to a spec of that the movement should perform to a AVERAGE of between -4 to + 6 seconds over any 24 hour period.But none of these phone apps whether Android or Iphone are 100% accurate, sure they will give a indication whether running fast of slow but 100% accurate I think not, and they are no way as accurate as a proper quartz timing machine.

The short answer is yes.

However my 2003 Submariner Date 16610 was timed and gained 3 secs over 28 days. I intend to read the riot act to my AD who serviced it.

We got to keep the standards up.

[Racerdj]

Awesome results!

[Brandon(phila)]

Does your watch tick like a quartz movement??

[watchwatcher]

Well, I don't know...are you comfortable with +.24 sec/day accuracy?

Actually, over a 3 week period, using something like Watchville will be more accurate than a timing machine. Even a 1 second user response time error works out to only 0.05 seconds per day, and most timing machines only report to the nearest 0.1 seconds per day.

Furthermore, a timing machine only reports the rate right now, not the average over a 24 hour period.

What makes timing machines so useful is that they do report a rate right away, so that the person adjusting the watch doesn't have to wait 24 hours to see if they got it right or not.
