Fair point. I was responding to your comment at face value, but recognize it's just one data point, and not something upon which to draw a firm conclusion.

I wouldn't go so far as to say it's everything. If it were, I'd wear a radio-controlled watch and be done with it. Since I opt to wear a mechanical watch, obviously I'm willing to accept a certain amount of inaccuracy. Having said that, my Sub Date is typically accurate to between +0.5 to +1spd. Given that, I don't feel like I'm compromising much in the way of accuracy by wearing a mechanical. I would feel a greater sense of compromise with a movement I couldn't keep regulated at least to within COSC specs. Technically my Sub is still more correct after a week than your FF is in a day. On an apples-to-apples basis, that's a pretty big difference.
I'm not slamming the FF. I was just relaying my own feelings about it relative to the Sub, since there was a time I really considered the FF as a diver
ne plus ultra, and the one watch I possibly coveted more than the Sub. For that reason, the comparison may carry more weight for me than for others. I still think the FF is a magnificent watch in its own right, but in practical terms, what I've read here indicates the Sub was the right choice for me. I can absolutely appreciate why others would covet the FF.
