Tom, I have given up on accuracy long time ago! LOL!!! And also the fact I am rotating(wearing) more hand wind watches than auto these days, I don't care much about accuracy! :P:P:P After a FULL wind it last me for 2 days and the most I lose less than a minute! Unless it is more than 5 mins in 2 days, then I have to be panic! Talking about being lazy..... that's me!
I've also given up winding my watches(auto) long time ago as my collection keeps increasing! hehehe..... I do not have a single winder. I am not a winder guy LOL!!! I rather spend the money on more watches! :P:P:P That's said, I never made any accuracy adjustment to my watches, I did not attempt and simply too lazy!
Like Michael said, I prefer the 3105 movt of my Aviator to my other Unitas, cos it has a massive power reserve!!! I just don't understand why Molnija does not last that long as the 3105 since both are Russian movt ??? Any clue???
Hi Jacky!
I think I've "adjusted" most all my mechanical watches with good results. The exception is my vintage gold Omega. I opened the back once and SCRATCHED the caseback! I was sick. Not a big scratch but big enough to be sad about it.
On your power reserve question, my understanding (admittedly basic) is that a watch's power reserve depends primarily on the length of its mainspring and how tightly it can be wound. Any experts out there???
