It is certainly helpful...between Abel's Moonshine and mine, the caliber 3861 seems to be very accurate so far...

Let's see how many other Purists decide to join in on the test so we can get a bigger sample size ๐

8 - 10 day timing results for the Apollo 11 Moonshine (cal. 3861)...

I will copy and paste what I wrote in the thread started by Art below. Day 1: I fully wound the movement and set the exact time against the atomic clock application I have on my Note 10 plus. This was done at 8:30 am (Paris time so GMT +1). I set the watc...
Day 2...

Day 2: I repeated the steps from Day 1 but this time the watch was laid down dial side down on my dresser. When I rewound and checked the watch against the atomic clock app this morning, the watch had a cumulative gain of about 2 seconds since the start o...
Thank you for your report Holdemchamp!!

Will keep following you! First 24 hours on mine shows no variation which I could meassure. Your second per day is well within specs. Cheers! Abel
My experience tells me that most new watches ...

... begin running better after several days working. Never run a serious test on this but by observation it usually happens this way with my new (modern) watches. Cheers! Abel
Glad to see other accuracy-focused horologists on this forum

Thanks for sharing the results of this detailed accuracy check. Impressive results, indeed. Quick question: how easy do you find the process of fully-winding and accurately-timing this timepiece? I'm asking bc I recently purchased a version of it's automa...
Thanks for the reassurance

Either way, I am happy to sacrifice my fingers in order to continue to wear this timepiece
Very respectable...

I mean your contribution and of course the initial results. I'll be watching this space...Thank you.
Day 3 results
By: holdemchamp1225 : February 3rd, 2020-04:30
Day 3: I repeated the same procedure of winding the Moonshine fully and checking it against the atomic clock app on my phone. One thing to note is that I was not as active yesterday (Sunday) as I usually am so I wanted to take that into consideration. The...
Outstanding performance dear Holemchamp!
By: Subexplorer : February 3rd, 2020-06:00
In my watch I could not detect a variation the first 24 hours and detected a two second loss in the 48 hs control this morning. In my case I was more active yesterday, and left the watch resting dial down on my night stand. So average results are similar ...
Excellent results so far !

Let me wear my steel Apollo 11 next time i travel as then it will be just one watch and activity will be more or less similar each day. Thanks for sharing your results ! Best regards

Day 4
By: holdemchamp1225 : February 4th, 2020-02:13
Day 4 results: Same procedure was used with the watch laying dial side down for day 4. The Moonshine was fully wound and then checked with the atomic clock app on my phone. Results after day 4 show a total gain of 4 - 5 seconds after 4 days of constant we...
Abel, your Moonshine caliber seems to be acting more commonly than mine...
By: holdemchamp1225 : February 4th, 2020-05:29
usually the movement of a watch would vary in rate depending on the testing position so your Moonshine is behaving normally. As for mine, no idea why it has remained consistent with 2 different testing positions (dial side up and dial side down). It could...
Day 5 results...
By: holdemchamp1225 : February 5th, 2020-04:15
Day 5: Same procedure was performed as the prior 4 days. It seems my Moonshine is extremely accurate with a constant rate whether the resting position is dial side up or down. After 5 days of constant wear and testing against the atomic clock app on my ph...
Day 6 results...
By: holdemchamp1225 : February 6th, 2020-02:15
Day 6: Same procedure was performed again with the Moonshine resting dial side down. After 6 days of constant wear it shows a net gain of around 6 - 7 seconds with a consistent gain regardless of the resting position (dial side up or down).
Day 7 results...
By: holdemchamp1225 : February 7th, 2020-02:31
Day 7: I followed the same protocol for the Moonshine as the 6 days prior with the watch resting dial side up. After 7 days of constant wear it shows a net gain of around 7 - 8 seconds with a consistent gain regardless of the resting position (dial side u...
