005

I tried to get some heavy metal in my photos, like Jocke, but I could not find a damn thing around the house that would work.
So... I did what I always do: go in the back yard, stick the watch on top of the Webber grill and take a few shots.

I sold my 422 and I missed it, but this fell in my lap a week later.
Resistance is futile.

Thank you all.
I really like this watch, and it's amazing how much better time it keeps even compared to my 422.

I was lucky to get 20 seconds a day on that, the 005 is running minus 8 seconds a week.

You get 20sec/day on 422? Wow that's sad bro..my 372 is perfect, I wear it daily, and it's hardly losing a minute in a month. You better get your 422 checked, something must be wrong.

I sold it, couldn't deal with it anymore.
On a timing machine it showed under a second a day, but in reality it would be within 20 to 40 seconds a day.
It ran worse when the watch was fully wound.
