Hi,

Im reviewing my QC and would like to have some advise on the movement check.

The watch should run with 28800 beats, but the check shows 21.600 and loose 13 second per day.

Is this okay ?

The watch is a PAM438 O Ceramic Lite V6F Seagull ST2555 Automatic

Thx in advance

If you ordered the watch with a ST2555 movement, then the beat number is correct.
If this was my watch I'd accept the timograph.

The error is actually quite good off the floor. It is NOT a high beat movement. It is gaining 13 seconds a day. Should be easily adjustable down further...

Yep, not particularly high. And TDs usually only measure one position. The rate gain can still be improved by doing some slight adjustments to the movement.

As above commented:
+13 s/d is good enough and besides easily correctable

I would not touch the watch
Check it after some months, some changes could be expected
Then make a decision
