...put in the listing ‘wr not tested, my bath’s not deep enough’

Deep enough for most WR watches I'd have said.

My ladyfriend stopped last night so I kept what are regarded by many (but not me ) as normal hours, in bed by 12 (which became 11) then I was awake at the crack of sparrows.

Is there a good way to check manufacturers stated specs? By that I mean accuracy, this King Seiko I've bought is supposed to be accurate to within 15-25 secs per day, but how to reliably verify that? Also, how do I know when it's fully wound? Looking at a black dial Sarb033 at the minute, I do like black dials.

If it’s losing or gaining half a minute a day by the end of the week it’ll either be three and a half minutes slow or fast. No biggy in my book, I don’t even wear the same watch for a week. If it hasn’t lost or gained any time (which I suspect will be the case) don’t panic Captain Mainwaring.

• Be open face (no lid over the dial), size 18 or 16 (Lancashire Gauge for measuring watches, as measured at the dial plate, size 18 equals 1 23/30" or 44.86 mm, size 16 equals 1 11/16" or 43.18 mm) read more about watch sizes
• Plain white dial, bold black hands, and bold Arabic numbers
• Have the winding stem at 12 o'clock
• Be lever set (to set the time, the case had to be opened, lever pulled out to set the hands, to prevent an accidental change, rather than pendant set)
• Have a minimum of 17 jewels, a double roller, steel escape wheel, micrometric regulator and grade on back plate
• Be adjusted to at least 5 positions (stem up, left side up, right side up, face up and face down)
• Temperature compensated for 34 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit
• Keep time accurately to within a gain or loss no more than than 30 seconds a week.
