I usually glance at my 14060m's accuracy every couple of weeks. Well 100 days ago I set it and today it was exactly 80 seconds slow! Less than one second lost per day, happy camper here!

bottom of the ninth · 8 October 2013, 12:32 PM

Yep that is pretty darn good!

Chainring · 8 October 2013, 12:46 PM

How do you wind up with such accurate timepieces? First your Doxa and now your sub? That's great. Mine, in comparison would be 700 seconds fast. Something I couldn't tolerate.

c.rod · 8 October 2013, 12:49 PM

when the AD found out he was a cop they sold him one of the "special" watches that are usually only reserved for the elite collectors.... :) lol

Jack T · 8 October 2013, 12:51 PM

Haven't measured mine so closely, as it's off my wrist from time to time. Nice to know yours is so precise. Think I'll put mine to a little test!

Hahaha what makes it even better is that I wear it 24/7, if I would take it off at night I bet I could get self regulated even better.
That's what I did with my DOXA, left it in my locker each shift stem up and it remains extremely accurate to this day.
I used to have a Seamaster that ran minus 8 seconds each and every day no matter what. Not sure of the model number but it was the "electric blue" dial version. Flipped it when I got my 2254.50, it never really sang to me.

Tim, that is a Fine timepiece you have there

padi56 · 8 October 2013, 05:14 PM

Thats very good accuracy and checking for accuracy once every week or so is good. There is no need to check like some on forum every hour of the day and measure in half seconds how they do that god knows.And any watch any brand is only as good as what its been regulated too.

DCheeta · 8 October 2013, 05:25 PM

That's great, Tim! You know I'll always agree with you on the awesomeness of the 14060!

Bangel · 8 October 2013, 07:23 PM

That's very impressive Tim.

Bangel · 8 October 2013, 07:31 PM

I just realised your sub is almost "twice" as "accurate" as my sub C, but that still means that my watch only loses roughly 1.5 seconds per day! (which I'm also very happy with

)

Cc1966 · 8 October 2013, 08:48 PM

Tim, I love it that you watches are nearly spot-on! With your past service, you deserve all the kudos life can offer you!

Racerdj · 8 October 2013, 08:54 PM

Excellent!

dysondiver · 8 October 2013, 08:54 PM

if i really want to know what time it actually is , i look at the gps , other than that a min or two isnt a big deal , but its nice to hear of machines that just work.

watchwatcher · 8 October 2013, 08:57 PM

That is outstanding! Great watch regardless of the accuracy...

Thanks Gus, Dave, Julian and Christopher. It really is hard to believe when you realize that this little maching strapped to your wrist can be capable of such amazing accuracy.

Casey VP-26 · 8 October 2013, 09:04 PM

Not Bad at all.

SUBversive · 8 October 2013, 09:15 PM

Nice. I never pay attention to stuff like that and I take that to mean it's not an issue for me either. Otherwise I'd be late all the time.

I keep an eye on it mainly to make sure that all is running righ inside there. My 2254.50 Seamaster has always run -2 seconds per day and about a year ago started running -8 seconds per day, tells me that it's time for a service. (gotta send it out one of these days...)

1675-David · 8 October 2013, 09:38 PM

Super!!

kxux · 8 October 2013, 09:43 PM

That is outstanding. Congratulations on such precise movement. Makes me want one ;-).

FeelingTheBlues · 8 October 2013, 09:45 PM

Quite impressive accuracy indeed!

Steve748 · 8 October 2013, 09:47 PM

When my GMT2c is being worn it loses a fraction of a second a day and every couple of days I take it off at night, lay it face upwards and in the morning it is running a fraction of a second fast.

i have not had to reset it in over a month.

mjclark32 · 8 October 2013, 09:50 PM

Good stuff!
