Low amplitude on Segull ST2555/PAM388?

[Armand25]

I have just received QC pics for am PAM 388, and I have to say it looks impressive. BUT, because in the rep game I can see there is always a "but", the timegrapher picture states a somehow low amplitude - 219. Is it too low or am I wrong? Could the movement be broken/unstable?
Other values seem OK:
Rate 9s/day
Amp: 219
Beat error: 0,3 ms
Param: 52´

It is from a TD here on RWI, things have been running very well till now. Will post TD name and review of the watch after the transaction is completed, but for now I am somehow in doubt due to the low amplitude.
What is your opinion on this issue?

You likely have a bone dry movement, or some other issue that requires service. Ask for another.

Thanks Grimlocktime. Will do. Better cut off some problems in the beginning than sending the watch back to China later.

Asian chronos always seem to be running a little low but I'd ask politely if he can find one that at least runs 250 degrees.

Okay, transaction will be on hold till this issue is somehow sorted out. Hope I don´t get the same watch with timegrapher photo of another watch though . In fact I ask myself why a TD, who knows much more about watches than I do, does not spot this problems from the start?

totally!

Low amp usually indictes unwanted friction somewhere in the system. Definately ask for a new one.

Have just asked for another one/have the movement serviced or similar, let´s see how this issue develops. Hopefully positive. Besides this issue, the look of the watch is smashing...
