Holy accuracy
now first off as many of you guys know I am not that picky when it comes to my watches. They get scratched whoop dee do! They could be fast 5 mins a month and I really wouldnt care. I do keep an eye on it every month or so just to make sure that they are at least running ok (being fast or slow 30mins a week or month can't be a good sign)
So I decided to give my trusty DJ a check with time.gov and guess what? Its running SLOW for the first time in its life (or so I am guessing) the last time I sync'd the time was on Nov30-Dec1 to change the date, at the same time I adjusted the time which was running fast less than 1 second a day. Today when I checked, it was running 4 seconds slow over the span of 2 MONTHS!!!! So now, not only is this my oldest watch (have had it since 1990), most sentimental (my mom bought it for me to start a collection, as she is a big watch collector) it is now the most accurate!!!! |

You've inspired me...
Roger to check my Perpetual.
Excellent photo with good depth of field and no flash glare on the crystal. |

Gotta love Rolex accuracy!
My Explorer and GMT never seem to vary more than 4 seconds, and I hardly check them anymore

Good accuracy, Roger....but I'm not surprised....after all, it has the same 3135 movement as the Sub-date, SD and YM (40 mm).

Not really anal about being spot on accurate,but today most movements can be tuned to the COSC standards with a bit of patience.
