How accurate is your watch

My masterpiece is 1 second slow per day
My day date is plus 2 seconds per day

TT Ceramic Sub --

Last time date was set: 4/25

Last measurement 5/9

Deviation from atomic clock: -3.9s

Average rate: -.3s / day

Measurement is made by hand so i think i have a +/- 1 sec reaction.

Not too shabby IMO

Close enough. I don't really check it. I just reset it when the date change is needed.

So, I guess it's running within specs.

It's a Tudor Submariner 75090.

My man, what is the obsession with creating threads about timing? 10 of your last 12 are about accuracy or timing! That’s just since March! It’s a mechanical watch, it can be fast, it can be slow, perfect timing is just luck and will not maintain. I obsess about my watches plenty but let’s mix it up. A scratch, minute/hour hand alignment, power reserve, crown not perfectly up and down, too heavy, too anything else.

Been 59 days since I last synced time with atomic clock and the watch is running 6.5 s fast, so avg 0.11 s fast a day?

Have owned Rolex since 1994 and has never dawned on me to ponder this question.

I just did a 10 day test wearing my DJII about 10-12 hrs a day and after the 10 days its just on the fat side of 26+ secs fast or +2.6 per day, it was just a 2 when getting back from being regulated but has picked up some time, now it’s time to play around with resting positions but the last crown down test if was +/-0 after 3 days so that inspired me to start testing different positions.

Also I just picked up my Tudor BB and it been running in my winder all week and currently runs -2 SPD

My Explorer is +3 sec/day and my DJ is -3 sec/day. I quit timing them with time.is as it is easier to time them with my GS which is spot on. Well at least in the last month which is when I bought all of them.

My Sea Dweller 43 is spot on, all my others run fast. Prior to Rolex, I had automatic Omega’s, Seiko’s and Doxa’s and they all ran fast. So not sure if it’s a watch thing or my inherent electromagnetism.

My 2nd MKII SD43 is sub -1 a/week, and the most accurate Rolex I have ever owned. The reason it is my second is first one kept sh!+ time...so I punted it.

After seeing my updated JC DSSD have to go back when brand new for dust on the dial and running at -4 sec a day it’s currently running at +2 seconds/month. Actually making me really appreciate Rolex again.

I have been timing my new Explorer, and the daily average as of yesterday after 22 days on the wrist was +1,9s. Very happy with it.

I have to give credit that at least they are not all the exact same title. Can you have perfect timing? Is your watch slow? Is you watch fast? Accuracy? Servicing(how fast was your after servicing)?

I think my most obsessive threads were about bracelet fit, i just could get quite comfortable with how my watch fit.
