    I'm amazed at the accuracy of my old 145.024 'flat jedi'. Since purchasing, I didn't really wear it as it didn't come with a service history (and the chrono has hour creep and a flaky second hand). Decided to wind and wear it regardless for the past three days, during which period it only lost 4 seconds total.

    But I'm afraid it might be pulling a Mr Burns on me, so off it goes to service. Can't wait for the Return of the Jedi :D

    I think it is so amazing that these little delicate machines can run for 50+ years with accuracy like you are seeing. It is incredible to me.

    Exactly! And given that there are 86,400 seconds in a day and it only loses about one and a half, it's 99.9985% accurate without 'cheating' by using a quartz crystal. Every time I think about it like that, it amazes me.
