I’m glad I don’t obsess about my few grandfather clocks’ accuracy.
Hard enuff to find repair when they quit.
The last guy showed up in a Cadillac Escalade that wanted mileage and portal to portal from 250 miles away.
We have a local guy that has retired, butt will accept the action iffn I can remove it from the cabinet and transport to him.
Wish me luck, I’m a clutz,
Where is the compass? cool though it does technically need one
and the latitude adjustment
amazon has them with both for $20 or $30
lots taller than this though
I calculated my new Seiko (Tuna 033) diver watch’s accuracy. It’s minus 5 seconds a month. I wish it was plus 5 seconds a month instead. Makes it easier to correct. Oh well, it’s light years better than all my automatics. I’m extremely happy with this watch.
Have you tried regulating it, by that i mean simply leaving dial up(or down) to correct the time. Not sure which way on seiko, or even if it matters or auto’s generally work the same. Winding button down to loose a few seconds etc kind of thing. Just thoughts, but –5 seconds a month seems pretty damn awesome!!!
I have nearly bit a few times here in the UK in the last 12 months!
This time(no pun intended) i have decided to try out a g shock. Its been years……………decades!Maybe even late 80’s, you know calculator watch era lol. Hopefully i will add a few pics next week, fancy getting maybe 2 or 3 of them to swap about.
Not easy to get! had to be fast as back light only lasts a second!
So far i like it, I wanted was a digital watch to bring back some 80’s memories. Also a change from hands and to digital display as until now i had none!. Next is a mudmaster, only reason i got the BB first was simply due to being rare and all digital. Mudmasters are easier to find(well i have seen plenty so far anyway).
Watch this space! pun intended
Hopefully i can stop at just 2 :person_facepalming:
Edit- figured the back light, can change it from 1s to 3s………….job done!
