Am I wrong, or is this a bit off ???

[saskmh]

I just got my 16760 back from the RSC and I've been wearing it consistently for 6 days now laying it face up in my case at night and recording the time every 6 hours.

On my wrist it seems to be running -4.5s/d.

My timegrapher shows an average rate (with the dial up) of -6.5s/d with an avg beat error of 2.9ms and an avg amplitude of 256 degrees.

Correct me if I am wrong but this beat error seems way too high to me and the amplitude to low. Granted this is a 30 year old watch but it has just been in for a $1300 dollar service and I would expect better accuracy than this.

Am I just being too picky or are these numbers a bit off???

Seems a bit off to me, too.

My AD got my exp II regulated so that it was approximately one second a week fast. And the watch is more than 40 years old.
So I would call RSC and ask them to do a proper job

One second a week would be excellent but I would be satisfied with cosc specs. That said, 4.5 seconds a day is close. (Although I would rather have it a couple of seconds fast than slow - easier to correct) What concerns me the most is the beat error is high and the amplitude seems low from what I have read. How can a RSC return a watch after a full service with specs that extreme?

Bad quality control.

It can happen. From what I heard from RSC and AD is that they will preder to regulate it so it will run fast.
The irregularities you mention would make send it in under warranty.

Amplitude is the problem it must be in between 270 and 310

[saskmh]

Isn't that beat error ridiculously high too?

Send it back if your unhappy

[saskmh]

I've sent a message to the RSC that did the work. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't just being too picky before I chewed them out.
