A little tip: Use the correct lifting angle of 53°, remove the scotch from the timegrapher microphone, turn the watch 180° so that the crown touches the microphone.

Edit: the higher lift angle will not change the rates but will increase the amplitude readings. But the green scotch that you are using could significantly damp the characteristic sound from the movement.


Agree with these points, but I also must point out, as I have here before, that the Chinese Timegraphers are often not very accurate. The likely cause is that the quartz crystal is not precisely made, and is also not located in an oven to keep it at a constant temperature.
