This would be true of any watch.
The key is consistency of wear. Our problem is we have too many watches and we don't wear them regularly.
It's like a Jaguar...if you keep it covered up in your garage and drive it once a month...it's not gonna work well. If you drive it like a FORD it will probably be as trouble free as the next car.
If you set a Rolex up properly and wear it as your only watch it will be as consistent if not more in time keeping than any other watch made.
This is ESPECIALLY true the more modern calibre you get. The 30xx series and up...are brutally accurate when worn consistently.
