Wow, how accurate is that?

I bought my 114060 from my local AD on Sat 11th. I enjoyed the AD experience, watched him remove all the stickers so I'm the 1st to wear it and my name is on the warranty card. All that = one happy, satisfied owner. I set the time exactly at 4.04pm from the time.is web page when I got home. I've just checked it now 3 days later ( @4.04pm) and it is running 2 seconds slow!! I've had a few mechanical watches but none this accurate. And it's said they improve after a month or two once the movement has 'bedded in'.

I am so satisfied with this watch, my other watch, an Omega Seamaster Pro Ceramic has been relegated to my safe.

That's in line with what my 15 yr old GMT does.
It loses on average 0.9 seconds per day presently.

Nice! I've got mine 14060 figured out to the point that I can self regulate between +/- 1 sec per day...on average. This is way more than I'll ever need. Not timing shuttle launche sequences or anything.

No matter the brand or movement its only as good as what its been regulated too.Yes its possible it could improve and also possible it could run out of spec and need regulating just like any other mechanical movement.All Rolex movements even at the bottom of the COSC pass scale are 99.994% accurate just enjoy wearing your watch.
