30 Day accuracy

I checked my watch for the month of April which had 30 days. It gained 43.5 seconds for the 30 days. That is 1.45 seconds per day. In March it was gaining 2.5 seconds per day. Watch was put into service February 08.

That's awesome timekeeping! The Cal. 3135 is a great movement!

Just went back to your DJ thread. It's a stunning looking watch!

You're well inside COSC standards. Congrats.

Do you simply wait until the end of the month or do you periodically check it? Just wondered how some of the interim assessments, if any, compare.

Great news to hear. I think mine is settling some as well. I bought mine right before the price increase and it lost -2.0 seconds per day, no matter the position at night, etc.

Well, I've been wearing it non-stop and last month it averaged -1.8 seconds per day. I just reset it to the 1st of the month. I'll give another report next month.

Congrats BTW on some great accuracy!!!!!!!

Actually I will check it every day, just to kind of see what is going on. But I figured a 30 day total, divided by the number of days would be more accurate. I reset it yesterday and moved the date to the 31st so it would read the 1 this morning.

I am going to watch it again this month and check it at the end of May.

My GMT IIc was just regulated by RSC, at which time I asked them to set it to +1 or 2 sec/day, if possible (it was losing 5 sec per day). I am on Day 5 after regulation, and it is now losing about 1.5 to 2 sec per day, within COSC. It is tough, I guess, for RSC to set it per our wishes, since our individual wearing habits are not uniform. I will continue to watch its accuracy for a month.

I've worn my new Dweller 24/7 for the last 8 days and amazingly has only gained about half a second. Well impressed!

I don't wear mine 24/7. Just a personal thing, I am more comfortable in bed with out it. I do wear it about 10 to 12 hours a day. At night I place it on its side with the crown up.

Today, mine came in at +2.67 sec/day for April. Worn pretty much all the time. About 2.3 sec/day fast during most of March. Not bad guys! We're lookin pretty darn good here!

I believe it, nice!

I too check the monthly accuracy on the 1st of every month, my SubLV came in around the same as Rhorne. But, my SD has yet to gain more than 10 seconds/month...I know the movement is the same, but I must admit the SD is hands down more accurate...I'm simply amazed how it stays so dead on!

My SD is dead accurate as well! There's something to be said about the 3135 movement!
