Hi, all. So, it has been about 2 days since I got my SubC. Just wanted to let you know that the accuracy of the watch is the best of any I have had right out of the box ... minus 0.5 secs. over a 2 day period. I think that's pretty impressive. I will wait for it to settle in a bit and see whether this continues. I know, I know, I must be nuts to be interested in this type of information, much less monitoring timing accuracy. Maybe I should join "WISA' (Watch Idiot Savants Anonymous) ... Hello, my name is Randy, and I'm a WIS.

You are not nuts you are just enjoying your watch nothing wrong with that enjoy

RolexPete · 10 March 2014, 10:42 PM

I check my accuracy often. I have a timegrapher so it makes it a little easier.

Annan · 10 March 2014, 10:43 PM

You are not nuts, Randy nor are you alone. Accuracy is just one more feature to take pride in.

Wow, that's great! You are not nuts, you are among friends!!

Like any movement Rolex or any other its only as good as what its been regulated too while wearing on wrist.Myself seldom now check more than once a week or so, even then well less than a minute fast that will do me I lost my CCEMFAD [Constant checking every minute for accuracy disorder] several decades ago.

I check my accuracy quite often too so you are not alone. I've had my sub about 2.5 months now and it avg about +2 seconds. I think thats pretty remarkable.

Jack T · 11 March 2014, 12:51 AM

Whew, thank goodness I am not alone!

slm9555 · 11 March 2014, 12:53 AM

I find that having an accurate watch (+2 or better) makes ownership more enjoyable.

Shan77 · 11 March 2014, 02:34 AM

Hi, I've had my SubC since September and it still runs consistently +5 secs a day from the day I got it. This is very impressive consistency and the +5 seconds a day doesn't bother me at all.
Wow, what a timepiece, my other watches have become very dusty!,

Easier than just looking at the time?

Just kidding. As you can probably tell, I don't pay too much attention to the second hand once I'm comfortable that a new acquisition is accurate enough it doesn't need regulation. It goes into the stable and that's that. If it stay good to the minute, it's pretty much good AFAIC.

My wearing habits probably have something to do with my attitude. I'll rotate every week or three. So as long as it is accurate to the minute for that length of time I don't worry about it. Once it's switched out for the next piece it's going to come to a stop anyway so it will have to be reset no matter how accurate it is.

I checked my new 114060 after two weeks and it was a total of four seconds fast......very impressed by that.

Mystro · 11 March 2014, 03:58 AM

Check its mainspring as well. Its hard to not wear a new watch but you really need to know what its power reserve is for future tests.

14060m · 11 March 2014, 04:35 AM

Is there an app that is used to check accuracy?
How do you check?

Racerdj · 11 March 2014, 06:13 AM

I use http://time.is/
Both of my new Sub C are +1/day max. When I am not wearing one the other is on my winder.
