i recently checked the accuracy of my Hamilton x-wind against a eta g10 Invicta and found that the x-wind lost 6 seconds over a 12 hour period, unexceptable to me. So i opened up the x-wind and adjusted the ( dont know what its called) two notches to the plus side and am happy to report that after four days it has lost only less than one second. Needless to say im thrilled, had to post here to share my joy since i know nobody personaly that could care less.

Congrats!  It takes some courage to open up a watch and adjust it, but the payoff is extremely satisfying!

Cheers,
Griff

Less than 3 seconds per day is darn near chronometer spec.
