Brand New Daytona - Time Grapher
Brand new... getting +4 278 amplitude and .5 beat error.
Is this normal in face up? Also what is lift angle for a sky dweller? |

That beat error is in the high side but within spec.
Rate in one position tells you nothing. |

What about amplitude? On lower side but within spec?

I’m not an expert but I have a 3 year old 116520 that is 0 to +1/day accurate with same amplitude as yours but only 0.1ms max beat error in any position.
Your beat error is a little bit high. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

That amplitude is on the low side for a new watch. However your best bet to see if it is a problem is to wear it for a day and set it down in a safe place and then see how long the power reserve is. |

Your amplitude is fine, your best error is in tolerance and and timing results are also fine. Beat error has a tolerance for a reason, same as amplitude and timing.
Now, when you go to a good independent watchmaker he should take the time to put everything as close to perfect as possible. You know Rolex churn a million of these out a year right? |

This check was probably done on a cheap timegrapher with the movement inside the case, I bet that the beat error is lower when it is outside of the case and on a Witschi. Why would one buy a timegrapher if all it makes you do is worry about things you do not fully understand? |
