    I’ve had a couple of watches with the 9015 - a Helson Skindiver and an Ancon Tank - and both were extremely accurate, better than any Swiss watch I’ve owned.

    That’s interesting, never heard of one of those before.

    Do you know if NASA posts the results of anything like this on its website or is there a live feed - NASA has those on Youtube?

    Thanks...
