. . . is gaining nine seconds per day at that moment. The movement's amplitude is 312º, which is a little on the high side, but not necessarily an indicator of a problem. The beat error is 0, which is as good as it gets. And the lift angle is 52º. Are you measuring a Rolex? Art
Nope this the IWC Portuguese with 7750 in it. With resting overnight it’s actually around +12 a day
. . . of adjusting the tester to reflect the correct lift angle. I asked if the watch were a Rolex as, from memory, most auto Rolex movements are supposed to be measured at 52º. That may be the default setting on the tester. The movement should be tested in at least four positions - dial up/down, crown up/down - to gain insight as to how it's running. It may be ok in three but off in the the fourth. Art
I will mess with it later today. I bought the watch pre owned and it’s 1 year old in mint condition. I noticed it runs fast but was not sure if that’s how the movement should be. I had this thing laying around the house and figure why not test it!
