Bad news I'm afraid. Unfortunately I'm going to have to withdraw the Clio. I took it out of the watch box over the Bank Holiday weekend to photograph it, having already made a cursory visual check...
Apologies also for a lack of updates recently due to other distractions. Anyway, it would appear that the climate control on the Clio has kicked in and it is now back at +4 seconds thus far.

Just over forty eight hours in and I had a quick check this afternoon. The new < 4p battery - from an assortment pack of 40 for £1.49 - was still...

Forgive me for being a bit late to the party as it took a little while to sort out my entry. I can't remember the exact details now, but at least...
