I should not whine>>>

New toys arrived in the mail and the old Sub from 1972 impresses as usual by +1 second per day.

Oh... I was about to agree with this thread wholeheartedly... Knowing Jocke and all...I miss-read it, I thought it said:

I should not drink wine

Very nice toy Jocke, but why do you need The Watch Expert No 5000? I was told you are talented enough to just hold the case up to your ear to check calibration.

Pretty accurate!

Now I'm just wondering why the screen is so big if the information is only displayed at the very top and bottom of it!

Yes it is and no one wants him, only a guy from San Diego can love him.

It reads everything you need to know about the movements rate and they go around $700 at Ebay.

Of course I don't need that, I only need one watch too. Right?

In the middle of the screen it write some lines how stable the movement runs, it's hard to see at the pic.
