Wow! Serious accuracy!!!
So I set my YM to the atomic clock on Tuesday morning. Set it to the second.
This morning I went to check it and it is within 2 seconds! IMO that is profound accuracy for a mechanical timepiece especially considering that I didn't wear it at all yesterday. Stored the watch face up when I had it off. Impressive to say the least! ![]() ![]() ![]()

Very good - within specifications!
How you store your watch will probably not impact your accuracy My SD is about +5 sec per day Sean

I thought that you could regulate your Rolex depending on how you laid it down at night - with more seconds being lost if you laid it on its side crown down ?

That said, play with yours if you care and see what happens. You may get some result that you can factor into the behavior of your watch while on your wrist. I have three Rolex watches of different types, all under a 14 months old and they are pretty steady no matter how they rest -- in a winder or in a variety of positions on the night stand. |

Thenk you Big Hat and Seantk. I will play around with mine to see if it makes a diference but it sounds as if it is the older models that you could regulate in this way.

I have read several places on the net that if you lay it on the 3 side it will tend to gain and on the 9 side it will loose. Flat on it's back it performs like a ... Well you get the idea of timing! <<<Blush>>>
