Horological Meandering

Parallax

 

BigDaddy,

Sorry to interupt your reading of the instructions smile

The bezel marking "alignment" discussions revolved around the optical phenomenon or parallax effect of a thick watch with flat profiles. If you tilt the watch or squint through one eye (or the other), you can observe this effect.

The difference observed may be 1 or 2 pulse beats per minute that really cannot be detected because the bezel calibration is only to 5 or 10 beats/min resolution. Normal average pulse is 70 bpm to put things in context.

Congratulations on the new watch!

Regards,

MTF

PS: Wasn't BigDaddy a British super heavyweight wrestler? smile
