Pretty Good Accuracy for September

I have my trusty soon-to-be 3 year old Datejust and every now and then I check the accuracy against www.time.is to get a pulse on any potential shifts in time keeping. I'm not worried about being imperfect, just want to build sort of a baseline over time so that when things do go wrong, I have data to rely on.

September 2014: +12 seconds. That's 0.4 sec/day.

Better than the +0.7 sec/day that it has upheld from day 1.

God I love Rolex.

Your post reminded me to check my 3 month old Datejust II. I set it when I was coming back from a trip on 8/31/14. Just checked it at +9 seconds.
Very pleased

My IWC 3756 has been spot on since I last set it in late July.

I thought +9 seconds over a 30 day period was great.

I wear it Mon.-Fri. to work and occasional weekends, and keep it on the winder all other times. So the power reserve is usually pretty full.
