Timegrapher watch timing machine : how many members have one?

Recommended Posts

twofake

As the title says, how many RWG members own one ?

I know a lot of watch collectors are anal about accuracy.

I am looking to buy one and would like to know what model others recommend and how do you use one. Does it just attach to the watch and the user regulates the plus / minus adjuster in the movement ?

Please post a link if you have a recommended machine and are the more costly machines worth the extra cost?

Sometimes there is such a thing as knowing you much. Granted my timegrapher has shown me two movements which were basically having explosive diarrhea in multiple positions which was worth it.

I have the 1000 model which is a clone of the more expensive model. A friend of mine, a watchmaker also has the same model, and has compared it with his more expensive Timegrapher, and the results were the same.

 

Where you located? If UK, you are best getting this one to save import duty..

You can get the 1000 model here cheaper, but then you do run the risk of import duty...

Here's the model 1900 which is not too bad, has some extra functionality..

Thanks SSTEEL . I was hoping you would answer.

You da man with da tools!

I am in Australia so there is no import duty on this as the value is under AU$1000.

Looks like I need a model 1000.

Thanks for the great advice.

Yup, have the same model. However, like any tool it's only as good as the person using it. Position of the watch, amount of wind applied, quality of grip to vibration sensor pick up can all make the same watch show as gaining/losing/not working or as Lg says! exploding

The RWG shop is also based in AU so delivery is cheap and we can supply you a great range of top quality timegraphers at excellent prices.

We supply the genuine TYMC product that you will find listed here: http://shop.homage-watches-guide.com/index.php?act=viewCat&catId=28

If you wish to purchase any other TYMC products such as output printers, commercial timegraphers or even quartz testing equipment/timers please ask me via PM.

Personally, I do not. But at my store we use one once in a blue moon. I usually use it for fun on my reps/gens to see when they need to be serviced.

I would say +- 1°/°° of our 44.000 members. So +-50 pieces.
