All of these watches had a minimum of two month break in time, and they have incabloc shock system.

1.       Doxa Mil Ed + 15 from day one didn’t change after 8 months of continuous use.   Adjusted over two weeks ago on the wrist it will not gain or lose a second. Off the wrist face up over night it only gain ¼ sec, off for 24 hrs +1/2 some day it gain zero. Took 45 minutes to adjust by the lever.

2.       Doxa Searambler started at +12 settled around 8 -9 sec daily, adjusted over a week ago on the wrist it doesn’t lose or gain a second, over night it will gain ½ face up, off the wrist for 24 hrs it will gain +1.   This one took five hours adjusted by the lever, three days later minor adjustment on the screw hair thickness LOL!

3.       Versace chrono +5 from day one that was over two years ago, adjusted it hasn’t gain or lost a second in the pass 24 hrs on the wrist. Just started testing it face up I’ll let you know the result in a week. Ajusted by the lever.

4.       I don’t need this type of accuracy, if I did I would buy a casio with waveceptor. LOL But it sure feel good knowing that your mechanical watch can perform this way, and I did it.

5.       They are not chronometer grade movement but they do have Incabloc shock system hint You must break in the movement for at least two months running 24/7, if you adjust early you are just wasting your time or money.

If you want perfection do it yourself.:D

Ken when you break in your Orsa, send it to be I'll adjust it for you. I don't have the proper tools to open all watches I have seen the Orsa case back I can do that one. if it has the Kif or novadiac shock system it might not perform like the Doxas. Plus I don't want to be responsible for other people watches. :D:D Like scratching the case back.
