"C" Type Balance issue
So it looks SPencer is retracting his comments about the c type balance. I can tell you that in my short time with the 6r15 it has been hit or miss on performance. Just like the 8r15. https://forums.watchuseek.com/f21/c-typ ... 03059.html
Either way check it out

Re: "C" Type Balance issue
Yep....my Blumo loses less than a second a day regardless how I wear it, so the movement is capable.
That being said the other 5 I've had/have kinda suck, so yes it's like playing the lotto.

Re: "C" Type Balance issue
I had a SARB035 with the 6r15 that ran about -40 a day. Drove me nuts. Nobody was able to regulate the thing. Off to a good home.
On the other hand, my SARY057 with the 4r36 is rock solid and insanely accurate.

Re: "C" Type Balance issue
Sounds like it's a case of sloppy assembly. Everyone seems to think these movements are assembled by robots. That doesn't make sense. If they're using robots to assemble them, why are they doing it in Malaysia? Robots aren't paid, last I checked.
Re: "C" Type Balance issue
All have been great since I have learned to regulate them myself. My daughter’s 7S26 SNK is within a few seconds a day and I got my 777 down to losing 1 second every two days. My only 6R15 loses 3 seconds a day so that wasn’t worth cracking open the case.toxicavenger wrote: ↑Sat Oct 06, 2018 8:44 pmI have had great luck with the 4r36's for sure.DenverBuff wrote: ↑Sat Oct 06, 2018 8:28 pmI had a SARB035 with the 6r15 that ran about -40 a day.

I use a timegrapher app which isn’t completely scientific when compared to an actual machine, but comparing those results with what it actually gains or loses in a day while wearing it usually only takes a few minutes of effort to get pretty accurate results from regulating.

If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.
Re: "C" Type Balance issue
I owned several of the “Shogun” model and found most close to (of within) COSC, while others were +/- 25. The last NAFT I had was well within COSC. I think regulation and timekeeping are absolutely not a priority for any Seiko below GS level.
It doesn’t make me like the brand any less, it’s just good to realize going in.

Timegrapher Lite.

Found a “Watch Tuner Lite”. That it?
