By the way that little baby the HP 5071A rates:

Quote:
at twice the accuracy of its predecessor, it remains the world's most accurate commercial clock, losing about one second every 1.6 million years. HP 5071As also account for 82% of the data relied on to keep the International Atomic Time Standard.

Wow. I'll check my Rolex tonight to see if it can match this. If not, do you think there's something wrong with it? Should I send it to my RSC for regulation? Do I need to send it or can it be done quickly by the jeweler at the mall?
