Fair enough, and that was why I said that if he was unhappy with it, then get CW to regulate it.NickChurch wrote:smegwina wrote:Not only would I be comfortable with it, I would revel in the fact that you have a timepiece that is only 0.000005% inaccurate.garsy69 wrote:So - I've had my new C60 Trident COSC for a few weeks now and it has taken up pretty much 100% wrist time.
I have given it time to settle, ensured fully wound and its running at a consistent -5 seconds per day......just outside of spec
Would you guys and gals be comfortable with that....given that I 'upgraded' from the Pro 600 in part for greater accuracy?
It is only a bunch of weird accuracy freaks on watch forums who worry about this sort of thing.
If you want accuracy get a radio controlled /HAQ watch.
Just enjoy the watch in the knowledge that you have a wonderful COSC movement inside a cracking watch.
Can a non COSC movement be regulated to this sort of accuracy, sure, but what a polava.
Absolute worst case, whizz it back to CW for regulation. As a COSC, they should do it for you as there is the expectation of accuracy.
People spend far too much time worrying about this sort of thing
Is it worth spending more for a COSC?..... That is a whole other argument.
For full disclosure, I have a couple of COSC watches and have absolutely no idea what they gain/lose over a day. And ya know what..... I still love 'em.

I think the OP wants to enjoy his wonderful movement, and wants it in spec.
If one bought a non-cosc and it was 60 seconds adrift then I think consensus would be to return it. same rules apply here. I agree, whether COSC is worth it is a different matter altogether. For me it absolutely was otherwise why purchase a COSC watch?

What he actually asked was whether others would be comfortable with it. I answered accordingly.
Interestingly it is the -5 secs that may actually make the difference here. Many people would.be perfectly happy with plus 5, but baulk at -5.
The COSC specified nothing other than "at the time of testing, the movement was within COSC spec".
That movement is then put in a case, made into a watch and then sold/shipped to the customer.
Many manufacturers will regulate for free if the movement goes out of spec, but cannot say all would. There is no guarantee of continuous accuracy between services.
You pay for the higher quality movement and the whole COSC process, not guaranteed permanent accuracy.
Some may think that is worth the extra, some may not.
