The movement in your watch was never sent in for the COSC test, but it can certainly achieve chronometer accuracy. It looks like it was well taken care of by it's previous owner. Wear it in good health.

A very nice watch! Congrats on yout first Rollie!

But its not our fault...it was probably some weakened form of the little problem you picked up from the Tudor. Its rumored that these are secretly manufactured by Rolex and sent out as carriers! Don't worry...most of these upsets are curable by following a 12 step program. Fortunately, you have just taken the first step!!! From what I can gather so far, that number is not hard and fast - some folks require more steps to achieve the cure, some less. I sure hope that you can complete at least 11 more steps to give the program a chance! And wear them all in, otherwise, super health. Heres to the future!!

Nice! This place is going send me to the poorhouse too, so don't worry. Perhaps we'll recognize each other by the hellishly expensive timepieces we're wearing. Enjoy!!
