I am continually amazed by the accuracy of my pepsi GMT

I have an S serial Pepsi GMT II, serviced a few months ago (by a local watchmaker) because it stopped working. I have been checking it once every week or two, and it is always within 1-2 seconds (sometimes fast, sometimes slow).

It is better than my quartz watches (cheap, "swiss parts" quartz watches that I have as beaters).

I was expecting it to be fast or slow 4 minutes a month. I'm really happy with this!

Pics so the thread isn't useless!

Well all the Rolex movements over the past 40 years are capable of the same accuracy.Its how a watch is regulated thats where most of the accuracy comes from.Your watch has been regulated almost perfect to your wearing habits,and might I add without the all singing and dancing parachrom blue hairspring.But say someone else would wear your watch then the accuracy could be slightly different its mechanical they are nearly all slightly different on the wrist.
