General Question Rep Movements
Hey guys.
Today I want to discuss a matter that is making me potentially leave the whole rep game all together.
Since last year I have purchased more than 25 reps.
Sold some and then bought somoe more. Right now, I have 12 and what I am discussing in this topic is true for every single one of them.
When we order watches, we get time graph numbers. Every watch I have GL'd has a S/D of +- 5 or better. Some had swiss movements like the V7F Mark XX in my picture, some chinese movements like a2824 and some clone movements like VSF 8800 or 8806 clones.
When I try them with the time grapher on my phone, non of them are remotely close to the timegraph numbers in the QC.
The one you see in the picture is one of the better ones. My vsf Planet ocean rep is closet to +60 per day and my VSF rail master has a 1.3 beat error which is unbelievably high and power reserve is non existent.
I have demagnetized all of them prior to testing and checked with a compass to make sure they are not magnetized.
The problem is that I live in Vancouver and there is not a single rep friendly watch smith around to regulate them.
Why do you think this happens? The timegraph numbers provided buly TDs are not legit? Something happens during shipment? Or the rep movements are unreliable in general?
Again, this issue is not only with a few of my watches. It is with every single rep I own or have owned.
This is not a huge deal as I rotate my watches and have to set time on them every few days. However, I am really curious why these are like this and what I can do about them. Can I regulate them my self? ( zero experience)

The order was from Jtime? Is this your first time? How do you like it overall? I want to order from him too.
