Interesting thing happened, thought I'd share. I was keeping these wound (manually, not in the winder) because I knew I wanted to wear one over the weekend, but couldn't make up my mine (yeah, I know...), and gave them a good winding Tuesday night, but forgot to wind them Thursday....I realized my mistake on Friday morning, and when I opened the box, I found this:

Yes, I checked, the times were PM for both!

Interesting that, even though it's rated for several hours longer, the PO only pulled one. I had thought I'd wound it fully (it had started clicking on every wind, supposedly the giveaway on those movements), but maybe not...anyway, pretty cool coincidence!

Absolutely! I use the USNO master clock to set my watches, to the second. They weren't set on the same day, however, so were certainly not synchronized to start with due to drift, although both were set within a day or so of each other so they'd only have been a few seconds apart at most when I last wound them.
