Please help to correct Daily rate.

Hello :)

I have a question about correct Daily rate.

Here is Timegrapher app data. (Omega cal.1120, Dial Up)

Starting with +107s/d, rate is gradually decrease.

 

Power reserve (not very accurate)

100% ->  +107s/d

95% ->  +104s/d

85+% ->  +101s/d

Below 50%, rate is significantly reduced.

24H from 100% ->  +73s/d

 

Here is the differences the actual time.

Average rate :+97.5s/d

I measured Five times at 24H intervals.

Fullwind every 24H and then Dial Up status.

 

 

I want to make the rate close to 0~+5s when I wear it. (or Dial Up position)

Power reserve should also be considered when wearing. (Start with 50% PowerReserves)

Considering the position error, how many seconds should I correct it?

Please think of this as an thought experiment.

 

Thank you for the comments.

Has the watch been serviced recently and the mainspring been replaced already? 

BTW we have a section where is considered polite for new members to introduce themselves. 

Hello :) 

I wrote introduce myself right after I joined. Nice to meet you.

I don't know the history of repairs before the watch came into my hands.

I received an overhaul service 2 weeks ago, Overhauled by a very professional repairer.

Perhaps the mainspring has not been replaced.

A few days later, I suddenly felt that the rate was strange.

Perhaps closing the regulator index gap would help with the isochronism error. 

Thank you for the comments :)

The method you mentioned will reduce rate.

If the watch isn't broken, what should I set the rate reading to?

It is difficult to determine a figure that is not inconvenient to use.

Possibly because it didn't needed to be replaced. I think you should bring it back to the repairer explaining the problem to give him a chance to use his professionalism in regulating it the best possible. In any  case not letting the watch stay more than, say a night, without wearing or otherwise winding it should help in getting at a more constant rate.

I understand what you mean.
Although measured by the timing machine by the repairer, I wonder why such a large rate has occurred.
I'll take it back to him and explain it to him.

Thank you for helping me. Have a good day :)

Wait you mentioned that the rate suddenly increased? How are we forgetting the most obvious approach to this problem? Try hitting it with the demagnetizer!

Thank you :)  At first, I thought magnetism was a problem.

When I measured it with a magnetic field meter app, it probably didn't have a problem.

If the watch is left(Dial Up) until 24 hours after fullwind, it will have the same error for near +97 seconds.

 

I've just measured it again.

15 hours after fullwind, +100s/d is still measured.  Aplitude has decreased a little.

Perhaps the rate does not increase or decrease significantly until 50% of the power reserve remains.

If there's nothing wrong with the other parts, I think I've had a large rate since I got it from the repairer.

That is a chronometer certified movement if I'm not mistaken, and should be an absolute piece of cake to regulate to that level. It should also maintain that rate or darn close to it after 24 hours, which would be a hair over 50% of the reserve total.

 

If it was serviced recently the watchmaker should definitely have a look.

Thank you. :)

I took this opportunity to learn about omega cal.1120 movement.

COSC certification

Perhaps 44-46H PowerReserve

similar form to eta2892

51' lift angle ( I have a document that says 53')

I don't know why rate is +100s/d, but I'll go back to the repair shop.

Well it should be simple enough to get it to 0~+5 on the wrist. You sync the time to a reference and wear the watch for something like a week. Then you calculate average seconds gained/lost per day for the period you wore it. If the watch gained/lost you subtract/add the average gained/lost per day from whatever the timegraph displays and that would be your target rate to regulate to. 

For example I wear the watch and at the end of the week I find that it had gained 35 seconds. I divide 35 by 7 and get 5 which means it gained on average 5 seconds a day. I wind it up fully and put it on the timegraph dial down and it reads +2. I subtract 5 from 2 which gets me -3. Now I regulate it so that it reads -3 dial down on timegraph and see where that gets me. Unless your wearing habits change significantly from week to week too much consideration need not be placed on wearing habits because all that would already be factored in.

Wow, thank you very much! :Bravo:
I understand exactly what you are saying.
I learned how to correct rate according to usual wearing habits.

I've been wearing an automatic watch for over 15 years, but it's the first time I've thought about the rate because there's never been such a strange daily rate.

    • people be honest.... Swatch is evil for the watchmakers and repairers, BUT not everything in watches from Switzerland is from the Swatch-Group. As far as i know, Selitta got sacked by Swatch as a Movement-Assembler for them and they started to produce Movements in their own Name with slight Modifications. As far as i know, they sell Parts to the Market for their Movements. In most cases, if a ETA-Movement fails, it is a valid Option to replace it with a Selitta Movement, which i consider the Solution for this Mess with the Swatch-Group...... I have no Connection to anybody at Selitta, but being a Swiss-Guy, i still like to have Swiss-Made Watches, but not from the Swatch-Group.   ok ? regards, Ernst
    • Just one more greedy act by Swatch. They started a number of years ago here in the US..cutting off supplies to watchmakers that could build complications that many Swatch houses couldn't even touch. Old school masters who had gone through some of the most prestigious houses in the world. Otto Frei has some statements on their page about it. I tell all my customers to avoid new Swiss watches like the plague,..unless they just want an older one in their collection that still has some parts out on the market, or they have really deep pockets and don't mind waiting months and paying through the nose to get it back. Plenty of others to choose from..IE Seiko,..or other non-swiss brands Even a number of Chinese brands are catching up with the Swiss,..and I think that in time, their actions will be their downfall
    • Yes. If that's not what you are experiencing...start looking for something rubbing. A 1st guess is that one of the hands is rubbing against the hole in the center of the dial. Especially if you now have lower amplitude in face up/ face down positions.
    • Once a movement has the dial and hands put back and it is recased, would you expect the assembled watch to have the same amplitude as when the movement is in a movement holder and is without hands and dial? Thanks
