Accuracy of clone Movements

[Nighttime]

Hello,

I recently received my first rep, an omega deville co-Axial with the A2824 Movement. A big pro for the decision to get a rep was the ok-ish inaccuracy of about 5-10s per day, like many confirmed and was also stated in the QC. In my watch I notice inaccuracy of about a minute per day, which is a bit too much for my taste.

Two Questions:

1. Is it normal that the accuracy drops when wearing the watch instead of it laying down while measuring?

2. Is this an issue that can be solved by servicing the watch?

kind regards

hi there-

your watch likely needs regulation. Luckily it is something any watchmaker can do- especially with a common serviceable movement like an A2824. You need to find one that is comfortable servicing "homage watches". Try small mom and pop watch shops- not big jewelry stores. Ask them if they can regulate a Chinese 2824 in a "homage watch" for you. For good measure also ask them if they think it is magnetized.

welcome and best of luck.

Sounds like it needs to be regulated. I have a number of A2824 as well as ETA 2824 and their accuracy is mostly less then +5 seconds per day. Things affect every mechanical movement, but every one I own or have owned has always kept great time.

1. Is it normal that the accuracy drops when wearing the watch instead of it laying down while measuring?

It's normal that the performance changes (+/-), depending on the mechanical movement's position, the gravitational forces it's exposed to and the ambient temperature.

2. Is this an issue that can be solved by servicing the watch?

Yes, the performance of a mechanical watch movement's accuracy can be adjusted by having it regulated by a watchmaker.

Thanks a lot! I’ll see if I can find someone in my area doing it for me.
