I don't really care too much about the accuracy of mechanical watches, as long as they keep reasonable time. Just over the weekend, I must have had too much time on my hand, I thought it'd be interesting to see which of my two babies keep better time over a period of a few days. Inside I was hoping that the BLNR would come out the winner, considering it's only a few months old and the Exp II hasn't had a service since I bought it 5 years ago. I don't think it's ever had one since it left the factory 10 years ago.

Anyway, the BLNR performed astonishingly well at +2s and the Exp II was -15s over a period of 4.5 days. I couldn't be happier with the results.

Well both have basically the same movement and no matter the movement or brand of the movement, its only as good as what its been regulated too.

That seems to be consistent with my findings as well. My BLNR is one year old (tomorrow!) and is currently running +1 daily. Both did well.

As peter has said plus - it you wear them each for a week each on the wrist the results will be different.

Both had equal wrist time, on alternate days. I do baby the BLNR a bit more than the Exp II but I doubt if that would make any difference at all. Either way, I'm totally satisfied with the result from the comparison, most impressed with Rolex.
