Improved Accuracy

I just did a four week accuracy test on the ExpII, which had previously been running +1.5 a day for about nine months.

However, over the past four weeks it's been running at +.25 a day. Could being a strap somehow improve accuracy?

Either way, three years old and getting more accurate, is impressive.

Impossible, Earl. I don't own a winder and the ExpII gets worn 90+% of the time. However, with the BM on the scene, it is getting rest every other day or so.

Perhaps you have been winding your watch faster,with a superior wrist action now you have a lighter load,with the leather strap.

Simple explanation, Johnny!

He looks upon the BM as competition and is improving upon himself to impress his master!!

Initially I thought the same thing but chose not to mention it.

Peter IS Welsh afterall, but he's a WIS first, so it's all good.

Not sure why John, but that is really cool that it is that good. These movements are tanks for sure.
