So, got it and she was about 40 seconds fast per day (and beat was a touch off by 2ms). Well, that's expected given the low-end of the range movement / regulation. So, decided to get a OTOOLWORLD Timegrapher NO.1000. After some time, here are the results.

How much does the timer go for roughly, if it’s not personal?

I stuffed the leather back in the box. Seemed a bit fancy for the watch and never felt right about leather on a dive style watch. I had this canvas strap laying around that was the right set up for the stock buckle.

It's a cool $300 watch, I grab it frequently. Seems silly to pick it apart for a non-unidirectional bezel.

Agree, and for under $300 with extra commission to Hodinkee it's ok.

Have you seen the Dumoreau for $400. THIS is an incredible bargain imho.

I got a question for you guys! I just got mine in but I can't seem to set the time right? No way to stop the second hand for some reason? Am I crazy? Haha! Thanks for the help.

It doesn't have hack seconds. The Timex watch is more show than go, with a great-feeling strap.

All good

They're not well regulated, yet mine has settled to about +4 seconds a day after a few tweaks on the timegrapher,
