I got a new link for my watch and it’s supposed to be 15.5mm, not 15.485 mm. And yeah, I had a micronmeter on my desk, of course I’m gonna measure random things.

Maybe they measured it in a warmer room.

If they’re shorting the 18k bands too they’re probably saving a bundle, cumulatively speaking.

I think you should calibrate your micrometer.

Brand new and came with a certification of calibration.

You can never calibrate your tools enough

Normally I just change the sticker with a pen. Out of date? No more.

The real question here is how does it compare to the other links?

Also I can’t quite tell if this post is sarcastic or not, but a tolerance of .015mm is not bad at all for something like a watch band.

Did you measure at multiple points? I feel like it’s a large enough surface to warrant an average of 5 or 6 measurements!

It was sarcasm.

Nah, I just wanted to see how close it was. Figured it was going to be dead on, this was sarcasm.

All measurements should be taken at standard temperature and pressure, SI units.

If you put a little tape on the last three digits it will be right on!

Well, yeah. We need to ask E90M3 if he’s working in some kind of office igloo.

I can do the calcs if I knew what the exact material alloy formulation was, I’m guessing 6.4% AL-Ti.

Anything that goes on your wrist requires five significant digits.

I just love how many people on this forum would likely do the same and have fun doing so.

Attaboy, that’s the Mexican way! We have a lot of “ingenieria de atinarle” around these parts too.

The lab attendants at my school loose their shit if you losen the calibration of those majiggs

Stp? What if you’re, say 2850m above sea level? Should we correct for the error using MATH?

The earth is flat, elevation is irreverent.

I was going to say if it’s not a mitutoyo you can’t trust the measurement...

It’s not irreverent. I think the word you’re looking for is irregardless.

Highlander-Datsuns are Forever > AMGtech - now with more recalls! 05/21/2018 at 20:08

I literally love that word.

I’m irreverent towards people that use irregardless seriously.
