Have you guys noticed that the center of the dial if you reflect the light on it looks like it’s sunken by the markers pressure? Look at it

Looks superb Junio! I'm expecting an LN this week. How's its timekeeping?

As for timekeeping on mine.
The last 10 days it gained 44 seconds (4.4 seconds a day). Really good...

At this moment I still don't have a precise idea.
From this afternoon we are at -3 , so not very precise. ( -3 in 6 hous )
Before connecting to the forum I reset the seconds and checked with the clock on my Iphone. After midnight , when I see the date snap to 4 , I'll put it in the rotor box.
I'll check in the morning. We hope it goes wel l, if not I will continue to use it to see if it is constant. If so , I've to make a regulation to balace wheel.... :(
However I think it is the minor problem.

PS : I've a gen 16570 (2007) that goes to +5 everyday , and I've had adjusted the 3136 many times , yet it always comes back to +5.
And it's gen........:crazy:

Hi Buddy's

Indeed , the outside temperature is 2 degrees , at home I've a temperature of 22 degrees. This could affect....
At most if I wasn't happy my friend told me to send him the watch for a caliber revision or balance wheel calibration.
So everything ok.... :)
If anyone was interested in an Iphone App to keep timekeeping under control there is this : https://apps.apple.com/it/app/watch-tracker/id610666926

There is also a free version on the App Store.

Regard

I really miss my Audi. Wish I had stayed with them :(

Which one did you have?
2012 - 2017 were golden years for Audi except for the VW emissions scandal Now I’m more hesitant to buy one.

I had a few, the last being a 2012 S7. We wanted to change to an SUV but Q8 did nothing for me so we got an XC90. Wife’s decision. Won’t let her do that again. The emissions thing never bothered me - I hate diesel anyway.

Oh.. damn I would get Q8. How was 2012 S7? Not too many headaches? Oil consumption was an issue. I will be shopping around for a couple - bmw 4 series or cayman on my list. I’m was also thinking about Audi TT but for some reason it seems a little too feminine for me.

Is it worthwhile to have one of these serviced and regulated out of factory or are they good to go brand new. What's your experience guys?

I recommend you check out this post.

I've found tiny hairs and other fragments inside every rep I've ever owned, including the new VSF116610, and that's just on the surface. I.e., I've never dismantled a movement, so it coudl be a real shit show in some of them. The VSF is acting up, so it'll be off for a full service shortly. The only watch that's looked perfectly clean inside is a BK-modded Sub I bought in 2012. It has an ETA2836 inside and still runs beautifully, and hasn't been opened since the day I got it.

The xc90 is a nice car man
