Nah fam if I pay almost 12 grand for a watch that comes with a tag that clearly states +2/-2 seconds per day for at least 5 years and I have personally had 2 of those watches go wayyyyy out of those specs within months then I have every right to be upset and want some sort of explanation. It would just be real nice to have a constructive conversation about it. Do I think soaking a watch in hot water is gonna fix it? Of course not. BUT that could have information in there to point in the right direction of figuring out why some of these movements (not all of them) do not run right. It’s a pain dealing with it. You get excited about a watch and then you have to let it go for weeks or months to get it fixed hoping that it holds time past the warranty because it’s messed up to pay $900 to service a watch that was a dud from the beginning.

Totally agree. The whole “why not get a quartz if you want accuracy” crowd is getting annoying to be honest. I get it from the point of view of being OCD from someone being overly concerned about a watch being slightly out of spec. But if someone advertises something to be at a certain level of performance and that said object isn’t performing at that level, what’s wrong in pointing that out and seeking answers and resolution? Especially if it’s WAY OUT of spec.
I already know how many seconds are in a day after being told the umpteenth time.
I just hope the “why are you so worried about losing/gaining a few seconds” crowd allow us to voice our concerns in peace without lecturing us how “trivial” it is addressing accuracy issues from a brand that clearly advertises accuracy.
