I was told by few my friends who use Inge's with 80110 and 80111 inside and all said the watches are very accurate. Yesterday I checked 2 my watches - 3227 Ken Noguchi and Vintahe Inge Laureus. It's the same for my watches as well. Actually in different positions the accuracy was from -3 to +3, but at the photos I very easy catched 0:
What about your watches? Do you check it?
Excelent post Roman. People sometimes tend to forget (in this day and age of quartz) that we have to do here with mass produced 100% mechanical movements.
That we can (should) accept a variance of up to +/- 7 seconds a day - does not mean, that many of our watches are far more Accurate than that.
Magnificent result Roman. Unfortunately I don't have the tools to check my watches but I do compare them to the atomic clock sometimes. My Inge 322701 looses a few seconds per day but I am still very happy with it.
Kind regards,

Hi Roman. I don't currently have an 80111 but did have one in the VC AT that is no longer with me. It ran magnificently -- fast by less than 1 sec/day. It's a great movement in my opinion.
My 3227 is one of, if not the most, accurate and consistent time keepers.
Frankly, I do not pay attention to the accuracy anymore. I am also not worried becasuse I know, when it's really needed, to regulate the watch. That's the beauty of mechanical watches. So I enjoy the watch and don't bother about accuracy.
But.. you've got an impressive result and that must be comforting!

Peter,
I concur. I don't check accuracy unless I suspect an issue and need to give my service person some guidance for a tune-up.
The date is spot on until I get to the 1st March :-)
Otherwise, my 80110 movements are only bettered by my 853 and 854 movements. That's progress for you.
