Graham Woan, Joseph Bayley, 2024. Horological Journal.

Bayesian analysis of the Budiselic hole coordinates giving 355.24 holes (68 per cent interval about 353.9 to 356.6; 354.08 excluding holes near fractures), a ring radius of 77.34 mm, 360 strongly disfavoured and 365 not plausible under the model. arXiv 29 February 2024; Horological Journal July 2024; Glasgow eprint 329337.
