Probably average, but in practice it can vary I suppose. Watch speeds up/slows down in different orientations.

So I turned on my xbox today for the first time in probably a week, and I get a message saying I'm banned from the Forza 4 community section for a week. wtf.

Yes that's their average tolerance. Swiss test in 5 positions and I can't remember how many temperatures. Each has a specific +/- per day, and the total max is the +6/-4. (COSC Chronometer cert)

Seiko one ups them with an extra position and temp as well as a tighter tolerance. But only on their Grand Seiko automatics. The Seiko 5 cheapie movement I have is factory +45/-20 but people seem to be able to regulate them to +10 pretty frequently.

I'm happy with my ~+15 for the money.

Ice rain! How am I going to get to work tomorrow morning? >_>

I don't mind women in the military. I'm all for it. What I don't like is double standards. Why is it that women can have long flowing hair but I have to shave my head to meet standards?

It burns my biscuits.

Did you sell a design in your storefront that was inappropriate?

That was the only time I was ever banned by the boys from Forza.
