I found an old wind up watch that I had not used in years. I got it 
serviced but it was running slow so I adjusted it. It went from running 
150 seconds a day slow to running 21 seconds fast. Not too bad for the 
first attempt, I thought.
Now that I know that the adjustment lever has the range, I will be 
scientific. So I recorded the tick on my tablet (1 GHz CPU) and analysed 
it. I also recorded a quartz watch as a reference. Damned if the wave 
form was > 0.6% out. That is nearly 9 minutes out in a day. It looks 
like I will have to revert to the old fashioned method of adjust, let it 
run for a day and repeat until I get fed up.
Could do better if it tried. :-(
