Hello David,

I am not a proffessional watch guy either, nor intend to become one. Just having fun in trying to get these little marvels to work again as good as I can. I too try to get them as perfect as possible and reasonable.
I thougth that the 2ms beat error referred to the difference in time for the oscilation in one direction versus the other. Don’t know if I explained this clear enough and if it is correct. Of course if this is true then the proportional error would depend on the beat rate.
I did not understand your calculation of 2.88 seconsd/day, would you care to explain? I am trying to understand this fully and would appreciate everybody’s opinion and knowledge.
