I recommend all the nuts, complaining about the other nuts, complaining about the accuracy of their watches, refrain from commenting if you have nothing constructive to offer. Although I may disagree a little with padi on how accurate is good enough, he at least backs his disdain for us accuracy nuts with a logical, well though out arguments for his Lebowski-esque position. The rest of you offer nothing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

This thread started with the OP questioning the AD’s response to a legitimate question about the accuracy of his watch. Then asked what a ‘quick service’ was.
Slowly and predictably, the pitchforks came out to condemn for even questioning accuracy. Even after his questions were answered, you all persist to ridicule from the peanut gallery. Is to the point of comedy for me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I'm still wondering if Rolex just rolled the dice on this as a sales mkting strategy to combat Omega. Figuring even if they get like 5% of SS or sport model owners complaining, the related sales and press benefits are worth it. Besides, there' aren't many SS or sport to sell... So, maybe there's only like 5 in for service worldwide |

clocks move faster in space... even in experiments on stairs one step apart they are different. Now what?
time appears to move slower near massive objects because the object's gravitational force bends space-time.... so, how much do you weigh? eat some twinkies if your watch is gaining time and report back

It's interesting to see all the different opinions regarding what the +-difference is supposed to be for Rolex watches. I just recently bought my first and probably only Rolex, a 1975 1603 DJ, and I can tell you I am fascinated that a watch that is almost 45 years old or maybe even older can still keep excellent time and look so awesome. Whether it's 1 second slow or 7 seconds fast, it's a beautifully crafted timepiece that will live on forever. So, IMHO appreciate that you have a beautiful watch and wear it in good health.

[QUOTE=pkincy;10001884
For me the ability to keep accurate time is absolutely necessary as I don't wear extraneous jewelry. So if it doesn't keep time accurately it won't go on my wrist. But I do understand that many people wear a watch as one of their pieces of jewelry and others wear a watch to announce to others their success in the world.[/QUOTE] So I assume you wear a quartz watch? Because that’s what you need for assured accuracy. And that seems to be your main objective. I have Grand Seikos accurate to a few seconds a year. My Rolex is great, but it’s obsolete technology and has been for half a century. You love it for what it is.... |

I used a watch tracker app for fun when I first got my white OP. First 30 days and it was +0.4 seconds. I did another test 6 months later for 19 days and it’s -0.5 seconds. Normally I wouldn’t bother tracking this data, but I was surprised with the accuracy these watches are capable of.

I suspected my JC DSSD was running slow recently.
Wore it 24/7 for 1 year, never hit it or dropped it, but I was always very careful with it. I bought the Watch Tracker app suggested by my AD website. It said it was losing 18 seconds per day. My wife laughed when I told her I wanted to take it back to the AD since it's under warranty. Would you guys/gals worry about 18 second loss per day? I was getting annoyed having to set my watch every 2 weeks even if I wore it non stop. |
