Accuracy Test Challenge
Decided to conduct an accuracy test for some of my watches over the holidays but mainly to find out how does the Seiko calibers fair against their swiss counterparts.



Identified 2 pairs:



1. 8L35 (SBDX 011, purchased in Jul 2011) VS 3135 (SD 16600 K series, last serviced in May 2011)



2.6R15 (SBDC 003, purchased in Jun 2011) VS ETA 2824-2 (Sinn U1, purchased Feb 2011)







Results to be revealed....... :P

Re: Accuracy Test Challenge

and must have them all perfectly serviced and regulated by factory before testing

Not to mention, any conclusions you draw will only be on your own specimens, as one watch is hardly a good sample.



Wearing one one for a few days / week at a time, and then measuring the variance against an atomic clock as well as against the other datapoints would be a better way to set it up, but we don't have to be scientists! ;) From a goal of very basically seeing which watch you own is the most [color=#FF0000]accurate (oops, I'm confused :P), [/color]this is a fun exercise! 8-)
