Hi. Newbie here. I’m a little depressed to be on this thread but I noticed today that my previously perfectly-hitting-the-markers Tissot now misses some of them and varies in length of jumps. As a newbie I’ve been a bit obsessed by this (admiring my new watches as you do!) and noticed how almost every Fossil (a bad word on many watch forums I believe), for example, are well out.

Anyway, I think I’ve knocked my Tissot and I guess that’s it now for good!

One other thing I’d like to add. There was a brief mention about Gravity and the idea that this is a myth in terms of hands hitting their markers. Well, in fact I’m for the Gravity theory. My Jacques Lemans chrono hand hits all the markers (pretty much) perfectly between 30 and 60 but falls below them when coming down the 0-30 side. Turn the watch upside down and guess what? They hit all the markers up between 0-30 and fall below them when falling between 30 and 60.

Gravity, unfortunately, seems to be a reality.
