Movement Quality PAM512

[Drado]

Hello everybody,

i reasently got the chance to have a look on some TimeGraph Pics of a PAM512 fully winded

Amplitude 255
Beat Error 1.4ms

that is pretty bad from my Point of view.

Are there any better Movements out there?

You can't judge a movement just like that. Even the indestructible 6497 may come with screwed up errors. Amplitude is acceptable while the beat error needs a lil tweaking, probably balancing the rotation of the wheel.

Hi, it´s got nothing to do with the movement quality itself, it´s got to do with the assembly quality of the movements. If dirt and dust got inside it will not perform. This will vary from batch to batch and specific sample to specific sample.

so ist could be a " batch problem" if other 512 Owner have equal Timegraphs ?

Either that or the timegraph picture was copy/pasted:whistling:

The beat has to be adjusted and one would need a Timgrapher for that. Oldtimers used to set the beat by ear or by sight, but there's so need for that anymore. Just because that is what the Timegrapher read doesn't mean that is the best the movement can perform. I received one last year that was worse than that but I put it on the Timegrapher and adjusted it to a very good rate.

Some of the kids who take the QC pics have no idea what they're seeing and they just shoot and email.

Thanks for the comments...

what i read through all the lines is ... that Movements with such " Data" need at least some adjustment ... maybe more.
