That is strange. Maybe its a problem with the equipment. Are you also doing a simple side-by-side test with time.is or similar source?

Very strange. Watch was set yesterday to atomic time and computer is set to atomic time as well. The program uses the computer time. I checked before using the program on this web site, and the results were right.
Repeating test.

Thanks! 7 seconds is still not that bad considering the watch has not been serviced. I usually get better readings, but oh well. Will see tomorrow.

Probably a god idea! I have to get my other Tudor back from RSC first as I can not be left without either of my watches... I was one of the first to buy! Going on 4 years!

The Heritage Chrono is a beautiful design. But all three that I've handled at ADs were malfunctioning in one way or another. On one, the chrono start/stop would bump the minute hand. On another, the flyback reset to around the :54 second position.

The first is not a malfunction, the second is.

I considered it excessive, and the other THCs in the case behaved differently.
