Experts: Does this look normal?
I tested my BLNR on timegrapher and at 12 up (crown right) position, it shows pretty "noisy" lines (see dots in lower half). Other positions look ok.
Looks like there are some touches? BTW, amplitude is a little low probably because it has been sitting there for 24 hours. What do you think? Should I worry or send in for warranty? Thanks in advance. |

The reading looks fine for a not-fully-wound watch. The crown-right position is never measured to begin with, so if anything, put it in the crown-left position. The "side noise" you see is probably because the watch is cased up.
Next time wind the watch 40 times to get an accurate reading. Sent from my SM-G930T1 using Tapatalk

Thanks, Vanessa.
The following are the readings after fully wound. Crown right (12 up) is still pretty noisy. Crown left is similar. From what I understand, there is 1 dot for each tick and tock. Sounds like the upper line of dots (I don't know upper line indicates tick or tock) are very unstable for this position. Other positions are much better as indicated in pictures. |

The 0.3ms is the largest best error (crown up) and that's way within limits. Rolex allows up to 0.8ms max.

Your amplitude is fantastic, btw. The side noise is nothing to worry about. It's very minimum.

Thanks Vanessa,
I was a little concerned whether these erratic dots indicate something on escapement system or escape wheel... |
