New Sea Dweller: Time Keeping

For anyone interested (I know some people are really interested, and others care much less)...

I picked up my Sea Dweller 116600 on Friday 2nd May and have worn it six days a week since having it (on it's one day of rest each week it has not been in the watch winder, but just in watch case).

Over the 31 days, it has gained 18 seconds.

In your watch there is the same cal 3135 as in most of the Rolex line up since cal 3135 was introduced in 1988.Now the latest cal 3135 has the in-house escapement parts but any cal 3135 is only as good as what that movement has been regulated too.So any cal 3135 if regulated correctly will give almost quartz like accuracy.But if badly regulated they will perform not so accurately your watch has been regulated excellently.

That's about the same accuracy as with my SDC that gains 3 seconds per week which equals to 0.4 seconds per day...

This might be a silly question, but is it entirely about the movement? Are there any other factors such as case size, case metals etc that can influence accuracy (by maybe having an effect on reducing or increasing vibrations which might then impact the movement accuracy)?

My Exp II (216570) averaged -0.2 over 30 days...

(I pegged it to my FF, which ran +3 over the same period)


I'm not obsessed with accuracy, but it's still nice to see a highly accurate performance

Picked up my Seadweller 116600, one week ago on 07/09 and after one week of wearing and observing accuracy, it is less than 1 sec slow. Obviously I'm very satisfied with this high accuracy.

I wear my SD4000 every day and if I lay flat overnight it picks up about +1 sec per day and if I lay on side, crown up, it loses 1 sec per day. I've been able to keep it about dead on since picking up in late May by adjusting the resting position at night.
