So I just decide to buy myself a Time Graph as I was having trouble adjusting the Miyota 9015 in my Bronze Zenith Pilot. Turns out I needed a new movement , most of the time it's cheaper to just put in a brand new Swiss or in this case Japanese movement and not waste your time and your watchsmiths time rebuilding a Chinese clone or a low quality movement ( I learned this through experience since 2014 I have had many movements rebuilt or replaced). Just because a dealer says its a new Swiss ETA or New Japanese Miyota doesnt mean its the highest quality you could buy independently off the internet. At least that's my experience/opinion. Below you can see some not so great pictures I have taken recently along with a brief description of what your seeing. One thing I learned is different movements have different lift angles and this needs to be set on your time graph to get an accurate reading.
WARNING DON'T TRUST THE INTERNET, THERE IS SO MUCH BAD INFO OUT THERE ABOUT LIFT ANGLES, ONLY TRUST THE ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER SPEC SHEETS!!!!
Here we have a Swiss ETA 2846 serviced by Strodda, I thought it was low beat but I guess not, lift angle is 50 .
Here we have a new Miyota 9015 just installed by Yodog, I got the movement off ebay, Lift angle is 51 and I just noticed the amplitude is low, should be closer to 270. I have noticed you can put a watch on the Time graph and get some different reading, I'm just learning so be nice. Just put it back on and seeing 230 amp with +1 to +3 s/d
This BP SD has a lot of Genuine goodness and is powered by a Yuki 3135, Built by @Ado213. 52 lift angle
Here we have a TC V6 with a new Swiss 2824 from Startime, I bought the more expensive version of the 2824 at startime and Adrian installed and adjusted it. Switched to 50 lift angle +1 S/D 296 AMP
Here is another BP SD built for me by Adrian, it has new Swiss ETA that Adrian supplied, lift angle 50 degrees and This watch is excellent.
So there is a lot more to learn and I will post it here. Please feel free to post any knowledge or photos, If you have a Time Graph at home lets see some pictures and hear what you have learned
