As an electrician I would recommend to do that in slightly different way: connect a wire (or needle on the wire) to 'C+' or 'C-' terminal; tap to the '+' of the battery. It's easier to hold steady connection on small 'C' terminal while tapping the large '+' battery area and it also doesn't scratch golden PCB pad of the movement ;-).
Longines VHP accuracy
Fellow watch nerds!
I have a Longines Conquest VHP watch that runs too fast. Faster than the 10 seconds per year that Longines advertises with. My watch gains 5 seconds per month. Almost a minute per year.
I have been keeping an eye on it, for a few months now, and it is very consistent at gaining one second every 6.5 days.
It might be due for a new battery since it is almost 8 years old. The second sweep still moves every second though.
It has been quite good so far, although I have not paid it as much attention before. I think it used to be one or two seconds out per month.
Anyone else has experiences with a VHP? I read that the rate can be adjusted when serviced. Is that a good idea? Who could do that?
It is a 1999 Conquest Perpetual Calendar Calibre 546. It has 'L1.632.4' inscribed on the back. Not too sure what that stands for.
Cheers
