I've been travelling recently so I've only been wearing my EM over the last 3-4 weeks due to my insurance only allowing me to travel with one "High End" watch. Can you get additional insurance for extra watches when travelling?

Anyway........I've just given him a quick bath and put him back in his protective box. I've taken his wee brother (B1) out to give him some wrist time and I just remembered that I synched them both a while back. On checking the EM and B1 I found them to showing identical times. The last date I synched them was Sunday the 20th of July 2008. Compared them to BBC Ceefax, which is what I synched them with originally, and they are both one second behind. So in 3 months they both have lost only one second according to Ceefax (maybe Ceefax is wrong and my Professionals are correct ).

Not bad eh, especially considering the EM has had a lot more wrist action than the B1, which I intend to rectify immediately.

Just thought I'd share this with you, and as I've probably bored you enough I'm off for a cheeky pint, have a good weekend,

SuperQuartz really is remarkable technology. My wife's Cockpit Lady has been ticking along for almost a year and it's currently slightly less than 4 seconds out - and that's probably from when the clocks change!

Ah, this is all due to magnetic deviation on the Ilkley/Addingham fault caused by heat energy being converted directly into electrical energy every time Leeds play at home Seriously though, I have heard that the GMT time signal can be variable dependant on whether it is received by an analog or digital radio, I gather the digital signal lags behind. I leave it to more scientific minds to correct an old Dalesman!

Okay, I have no idea what that means, Armchair Pilot, even after the "seriously" part , but it sure sounds like you know what you are talking about so I will take your word for it I do know, since I have one, that the SuperQuartz is super accurate

Hmmm Verner, I'd better be careful what I say about Leeds, especially when you can find my noseprint on Dysons or Berrys Jewellers windows whenever I'm in the city Best wishes from the Dales
