Not that good, I am getting +25 seconds per week.


Okay, thanks for the update! I think my Fossil watch was the worst ever for telling time, especially since it was an automatic. Seemed like it had to be wound up all day every day because I would check the next day and it would be dead. Haha.

Even the Casios aren't that great with time, probably 5-10 seconds +/- a month, but the Casios that have atomic clock sync capabilities make the time in sync down to the second.

Mine is doing fine, It's rated up to 48 hours of power reserve and I can go through the week end without wearing them but still have enough power for the next week.

Beautiful piece, Andrew.  My response to that is my latest addition:
 
 
 


Nice Tiss Jazzi, love the small seconds

I'd say my Tissot is my finest watch for sure

I like the look of that Orient Andrew however the 25 seconds a month is bothersome. Come to think of it I don't think I've worn either of my Autos for a month straight to even judge that

I haven't adjusted or have someone to adjust the tensions. You can bring it to an expert for adjustments for accurate time. They have this thing that monitors the clicking of the mechanisms to verify how accurate it handles time.

True but I have enough into my watches already and +/- 25 seconds is not a deal breaker or worth spending additional monies on

Make sure it's an expert. Mark Twain has a cautionary tale to tell about letting well-meaning people adjust watches.

You should try Perrier Grapefruit if you haven't, easiest way to find it is get it at 7-11 or 7-11 equivalent (convenience store) locations.
 
Your Producer's looking good!
 
Funniest cheers/tandem drink I've seen:

The grapefruit is my favorite, the the Pomm/Orange, then the Blood Orange. When I really want to wake those taste buds I do the lemon which would make a Warheads fan pucker

If you ever go to Jamaica try the drink Ting, best grapefruit drink eva

Perrier creates Pomegranate and Blood Orange sparkling water?  I know they make Lemon, Lime, Orange and Grapefruit versions.  Or do you mean grapefruit, pom/orange, and blood orange drinks in general?
 
Jamaica isn't in the immediate future for me, but maybe I can drink Ting at a Jamaican restaurant in the Los Angeles/So. Cal area.  Thanks for the suggestion!
