Thanks for the update! Good to know I'm not alone in enjoying a Precisionist that is performing even better than the +10s/y spec.Originally Posted by v76

Week 19 sees our first dip into negative territory ... must be a sure sign of Spring
I like the looks of that trend line!

It has been suggested by webvan that some more meaningful data might be obtained if I were to refrain from wearing the watch. This would show what the rate is at Room Temperature.
I agree, so as of today, the 98B153 is off my wrist. Not a great burden, as I was getting tired of remembering it still shows time one hour behind since I did not change the time for DST.
This will probably require a new rate chart to keep the data separate, but we'll see.

Gaijin...
Thanks for doing this. Interesting to me.
I have a 1st gen BP. Know it's not within the +-10 sec claim. But, I like the sweep ;)

Week 14, and still +0.15s cumulative. I wear it perhaps not more than 8-10 hours/week, rest of the time it's in my watch drawer.

May be, but the Precisionist is still pretty sweet.
One second:
Five seconds:
Are there any brand new, still in production tuning fork watches out there that one can buy for a couple hundred bucks?

Oh come on. You know the answer to both questions.
But for others, No and Yes. No they are no longer made. Yes you can buy those that exist quite often for a couple of hundred US dollars.
And the hummers almost all look a lot better than the models in the Precisionist line... but that is just my opinion.

No argument there - my 98B153 looks like it was designed by a committee of design team rejects with Hypoxia.
