Broadcast Mark! Do you know Rick Perkins?

I did! the AD sent it back to the RSC for a complete (early) overhaul, the thing is incredible now! Before I was gaining between 6 and 9 seconds a DAY. Since I've had it back, about three months, I have averaged EIGHT seconds slow a MONTH. Some people say they don't like their watches slow at all, but eight seconds in a month is well within my standards.

that's outstanding, very pleased for you. It can be a real bummer when you know there's folks getting great precision from the same watch as yours.

nice one

Now why didn't I think of that!

alpinab7 · 29 June 2010, 03:13 AM

Yep...you definitely got that bulky, chunky look going on!

rfknauss · 29 June 2010, 04:26 AM

Paul, doesn't that hurt when you pull off the tape from your arm?

mtrunner · 29 June 2010, 04:44 AM

I like the bubble wrap idea train-time. With bubble wrap you will absorb some of the force if you accidentally bump into anything. Personally I would never wear my watch outside of the house. I am thinking about building a padded watch room so I don't have to worry about any damage in case I accidentally drop it when trying on my watch.

ocwatching · 29 June 2010, 04:46 AM

LOL...few chuckles...

α-ψ! · 29 June 2010, 05:36 AM

AWATCH · 29 June 2010, 06:06 AM

Paul, your method is almost as good as mine, mine does have a little style.
