Timex made in Great Britian, 1960’s-70’s I’d guess. The numbers at the bottom of the dial may give an answer to when it was made.
One of our visitors here posted it.
I very enthusiasticly commented that that it was very cool, didn’t know they were made in the UK.
He replied since i like it so much he could send it to me, which he did.

Acceptible Accuracy for Luxury Used Watch?

Hi, I’m new here so apologies if this should go somewhere else, but curious if anyone has a take.

I just bought a Blancpain Leman Flyback (prob from early 2000’s) in LN condition from a generally reputable dealer. It seemed to be running a little weird. When I got it on the timegrapher it seemed to have some issues with amplitude. On the wrist, it was gaining even more time (2min+ per day- maybe knocking or something?).
