After 5 days the 116710 is spot on. Incredible accuracy. I don't know if it's a function of the improved hairspring or just serendipitous but I'm very happy.

Wow and big congrats.....

You are my official time keeper.

SQK_VFR · 10 February 2009, 05:19 AM

It seems as though mine is just a little off per day if I place it on the winder, but comes very close to spot on when I wear it daily.

What are your "wear habits" of this watch? ie. take it off at night, rest it face up/down? Keep it on the winder????

GBJIV · 10 February 2009, 05:22 AM

Sweet! Got to love Rolex!

clenz · 10 February 2009, 05:25 AM

Mine has settled in at about +1 sec/day. Seems the reports are pretty consistent on the accuracy of the GMT IIc!

buz-lh · 10 February 2009, 07:00 AM

I've worn it about fourteen hours per day and place it crown up at night.

mike · 10 February 2009, 09:24 AM

Buz, the only way to be really sure is to try it on someone else's wrist. I know, I know, but send it to me and I'll bite the bullet for you.

Wonderful accuracy buddy.

Porsche · 10 February 2009, 09:51 AM

I agree with Craig, I think the GMTIIc is a VERY accurate watch.

When I first got mine it was approx 3 sec slow per day. After a couple of months it settled down.

I last set it on the 1st November 2008. I just checked and it is exactly 15 seconds slow. So that's 15 seconds over 102 days... ie. less than 0.15 seconds slow per day!!!

Hey Buz, check it over a longer period, I think 5 days may be too short for an 116710 !!!
let us know the results.

Lion · 10 February 2009, 09:57 AM

Sounds like a winner,enjoy your watch. Maybe someday when I grow up I can get one just like yours!!!

Bisquitlips · 10 February 2009, 10:08 AM

Sweet Buzzer!! You gotta love that 3186!

Ah, so you can use both hands then.

kcmo · 10 February 2009, 11:26 AM

Awesome!

SLS · 10 February 2009, 11:31 AM

Mine is about 2 seconds slow, which does annoy me a little. I would rather have it fast so I can hack it back.

jtvision · 10 February 2009, 12:32 PM

M sub - +1sec/day
D dj - initially +3, regulated to +1sec/day

JimSnyder · 10 February 2009, 12:50 PM

Sounds good Buz. I don't even know which day it is

candycandy · 10 February 2009, 03:35 PM

Cool !

I think I'll try to measure on mine too!

takeo

buz-lh · 11 February 2009, 09:20 PM

7th Day still spot on. I'm having a hard time believing this as the closest any others are is +1 per day on the Explorer. My 16710 is constantly at +3 seconds per day as is my DJ.

yannis · 11 February 2009, 09:24 PM

Hey Buz that is great!

Mine is about + 0,5 a day!

Dalton · 12 February 2009, 09:32 AM

How's the watch doing today Buz?

After the title of this thread I was hoping for something a bit more risque!

I took the bait ...........!

My congratulations on a perfect COSC timepiece!

I wore it about three hours this morning and then put on the 16750 to go to an appointment. I just checked and it has lost a second (or .7 second or 1.3 seconds) as time.gov is accurate to .3 seconds. I'm wearing it the rest of the evening and will check again in the morning.
