Since the 3135 is based on the 3130 (sans complication), I'd have thought it would have ranked higher by the criteria Stone stated in putting Rolex at number one:
  • Perhaps the most accurate
  • Robust
  • Serviceable
Goes on to add: "the only mass-produced automatic with an overcoil hairspring, a significant contributor to good accuracy across positions and states of wind."

The reason I came back to add this (thanks for the prompting, Cody) was because of the criteria. When folks argue "this is best" or "that is best," they often do so in isolation, not in combination w/ the other aspects of the total package that must perform.
