That's right......Rolex must have done something right when they assembled the amazing 3135 movement they threw into my Platty.

It's ZERO DEVIATION accuracy, day in and day out has left me gobsmacked. I truly wonder at the magic of the 3135 movment that lies buried inside this beauty!!

f16570 · 28 June 2008, 07:36 AM

NO issues with thi 3135 then JJ, nice pic. My 3185 is awesome aswell. Is it the battery?

SPACE-DWELLER · 28 June 2008, 07:36 AM

The Cal. 3135 sure is an excellent movement!

OYSTERMANN · 28 June 2008, 07:39 AM

Great picture, as usual, JJ

.

How many seconds does Platty lose/gain over a week?

Steady, JJ - I nearly choked on my lager

.

Surely Platty can't be that accurate - it must be a few seconds adrift a month, at least

.

Unless, of course NZ sets their National Time by your watch

F^^^s sake JJ, Stevie Wonder is helping the boy oot. Gee him a break.

That really is amazing accuracy. Cant wait to test my bluesy when it comes back from service next week. (I hope)

Z-Sub · 28 June 2008, 02:49 PM

I'm impressed with my Sub date's accuracy. It IS more accurate than my old Gucci Quartz movement!

Marrk · 28 June 2008, 02:50 PM

I heard that all of New Zealand drifts a little bit, so maybe JJ didn't notice.

It is possible to have a zero deviation accuracy. I have got three mechanic watches now that are spot on and in the past I have had a Datejust and a Daytona both were the same. It is a matter of luck how the watch is set and regulated, but you can ask RSC to regulate again and again to get it right.

Skippy · 29 June 2008, 02:43 AM

Only thing I wonder is to what clock you compared it cause there's probably no sutch thing as 0 deviation or is the watch just not running and you just check it everyday at a quarter and 10seconds too two;-)

Baptistman · 29 June 2008, 04:28 AM

What he forgot to tell you, is that the crown is out and its right twice every single day

RW16610 · 29 June 2008, 04:41 AM

Nice picture JJ, that is an awesome watch you have. Love to hear stories like this with excellent accuracy.

The old-fashioned, but sure-fire way.

Just tune into any local AM station which gives off 6 signal beeps on the hour, every hour.

These beeps are synchronised with our atomic clock in our capital city, Wellington. Yes, I know this 'cause I phoned those buggers and got all the info off them.

The 6th beep sounds when the second hand touches '12' exact. And that's dead-on...like this!!

RW16610 · 29 June 2008, 06:33 AM

Pretty impressive indeed.

Cool, well if they say so I don't doubt you but even the atomic clock has some deviation(probably 1 sec in a zillion years or something like that). Sounds like that yachtmaster is running pretty good then now but that's not where automatics are all about imo. It will deviate for sure.

BS.......pure and simple.

And to think, those dummys spent all that money on an atomic clock when they could have just bought a platty

Toxicant · 29 June 2008, 10:26 AM

Hey JJ, before you blow a sheep, I mean gasket.

Have you ever done the stem up, stem down thing at night to see if it really has any effect?

haakon59 · 29 June 2008, 11:20 AM

I think the only thing to say here is congratulations, that is wonderful accuracy!

Andad · 29 June 2008, 12:56 PM

Great accuracy JJ but that hour hand needs to be straightened up.

You know I did not even notice that until you mentioned it and I double checked. Still great though but perfect is always best
