Throughout the whole 7 days, the watch was worn on my wrist for minimum 4-5 hours a day and the rest of the time , sitting nicely, dial up , on the watch case. It's wind everyday and chronograph has been activated at times.

It runs an amazing minus 2 secs for 7 days period

In the past , I have tested another 5970G before and it runs approximately + 1 sec a day. I have also tested 2 Datograph before , both samples run +8 sec a day. I must say this Patek is very well regulated.

I'm curious if any owner of 5970 has opposite or similar experience.....or anyone has a Lange Datograph that actually runs this accurately after conducting a test. Just curious because Dato has limited itself to 36 hours of power reserve so it should run better.

And, of course, my sample field is limited to only 4 samples.

Cheers,

CL

it doesn't look like that when I post.

but an interesting observation.

I'm always looking down at my wrist and rarely, very rarely to tell the time,... let a lone if my time-piece is accurate.

I need a life.

Not a PP but I once timed one of my Princes over a week

Not bad for a watch from 1931

My vintage Patek runs at +30sec a day

a watch I will always watch but never own !

Have you ever tested your 5070R?
I'm curious how it fares....maybe Lemania movement is easy to regulate to achieve accuracy ;-)

Even if it missed 2 minutes per day I wouldn't notice it  LOL

 

I love to time my watches but I'm not too worried if they are off by a few seconds a day as long they are quite constant.

Hi,

Thank you for sharing, one more positive aspect about this watch!

Cheers

Dje

can't tell the time ...hahahahhaha ;-)

I never care if my pcs accurate or not as every week I will wear different one,

but just curious how well regulated are these expensive beasts
*CL

My Dato runs 2 / 3 seconds faster, per day, and I'm happy with.

But your 5970 is impressively accurate!

Best,

Nicolas

At least now I know of an example of Dato running accurately. +2, +3 sec are great timing
*CL

My beloved 5970G is running 5-6 sec fast per 24h
I will put it on my timing machine to try to slow it down during the night ...

and how do you slow it down?
Care to elaborate, I'm curious.
Cheers,
CL

Great photos from both yourself and Arthur.

I would love to own a 5970G

If I had one, it would very rarely leave my wrist. Much like my 5140G does now.

Be it 5970G or 5140G, they would only look better as time passes. They will grow old with grace together with us on our wrist
