Is there a published spec for the watch?
Bill, thank you for the response. The table is interesting, but I am wondering how it relates to this specific watch. Do you know whether Breguet ever published a specification for the watch? I found a description on this site http://www.presentwatch.com/breguet/103313.c2VjdHwx.html stating the mechanism is "adjusted in five positions". Should it be taken as indication of above average precision, or is it something unrelated.
Thank you for sharing the information.
Best regards

The example I provided was a guide
It was merely to represent the fact that mechanical watches have margins in which the operate. But I do think you should try and find out why you get such a variance after each service which seem not to be normal. Bill

To a watchmaker that has a good timing machine (the moderns Witsch are great) I would suggest that you do a quick check. There you can remove the potential ambiguity and check if your watch is under the correct parameters on all positions. I do this check...

Hi Nino, this is a very good point – thank you. I will follow up and let you know what the measurement shows. By the way, I found the e-mail from Breguet service manager where he explained what they found when I sent the watch for repairs. His respo...
