Horological Meandering

Another PuristS year has gone by. Time for the yearly report. GS quartz +26s The Citizen +5s Tag Microtimer -28s Pulsar PSR-10 +30s Sjoo Sandstrom ORC +3s

Ron, Can you remind us what are the conditions under which you do these tests or records? Do you wear the watches, or keep them in climate-controlled storage, or what? Thanks Mike

And stored for the vast majority of the year in a climate controlled place. If one has a dead battery during the year, I wait until the next year's beginning.

I knew it had been a long time=that's why I have forgotten all the details. Did you originally post some of this on the High End Quartz forum at WUS? (brain cells lacking) ...

Reminding me I need to check out what the final result with my SBGX097 was. So far it\'s been almost atom clock accurate... Surprised at the last entry - a chance purchase or was it known for its accuracy?

It is very interesting to see a long term accuracy comparison and you are a great source Is the Sjoo Sandstrom ORC known for its special accuracy?

They are not thermoccompensated.

They would not have struck me as a brand pursuing absolute precision so I was a bit surprised. Have you tried any of the Bulovas with the 262khz Precisionist movements?

But the current ones are better. Personally concerned about aging in those watches.

Any specific aspect that\'s worrisome or just a general feeling?

Aging problems. Several posters are happy with these watches. No money or time to test one out as I am going to decrease the number of watches I own.

Before I can share it with any PuristS.

Whichever way you decide it will be the right one!
