+1 second... That's it. Was set to atomic time the day I received it, haven't unscrewed the crown since. Very impressed with the performance so far. Has anyone else had this kind of accuracy or am I just lucky?

FTX I · 23 February 2017, 10:18 AM

I'd say you're lucky. Mine took two months to stay at +1/day. Congrats.

Mystro · 23 February 2017, 10:23 AM

Sounds like you are a little bit lucky. There are many that achieve that accuracy if they had some time being regulated correctly.

natosub · 23 February 2017, 10:38 AM

Yep. These new Subs are ridiculous. I've seen a few running within -1/+1 per month. Pretty amazing!

watchwatcher · 23 February 2017, 11:16 AM

Nice.

douglasf13 · 23 February 2017, 11:36 AM

That's great, but it's lucky. Even an off the shelf ETA movement is capable of very good results with a regulation.

My 17 year old Exp II runs -2 per day. Maybe I should call it the Explorer -II?

Boaters · 23 February 2017, 11:56 AM

That is exceptional!

jb335 · 23 February 2017, 12:09 PM

That's wild.

I'm 31 days in on a 116610LN and it's running a very consistent +2 seconds a day, which I am totally fine with.

gossbeau · 23 February 2017, 12:43 PM

You are lucky I guess since they are so many factors such as the way you move your arm every day to could influence its accuracy.

Absolutely. Drew, are you a disco dancer??

dimag333 · 23 February 2017, 12:58 PM

yeah my 114060 is +2 about a day, 2 weeks old, actually I take that back, havent reset in about a week and it is at +3 seconds

Bigsykedaddy · 23 February 2017, 02:45 PM

Yeah you're lucky. My last one (116610ln, which was sent in for a foreign object in the sapphire crystal) was about that accurate. I had to send it back for an exchange and my new one is now at +2 seconds a day. That's still great when you consider it's a tiny mechanical machine on your wrist, but I like how crazy accurate my last one was.

yannis · 23 February 2017, 03:10 PM

Great performance and watch Drew!

The reward of being a text book driver, hand at 10 to on the wheel.

Made your Rolex self regulate with prediction.

SeaDweller50 · 23 February 2017, 04:18 PM

My Sub yields very similar results. Amazing when you think about it.

mistermann · 23 February 2017, 04:29 PM

I am always wearing it when I'm either not sleeping or not at work. When it's not on it is usually laying face up. That's really about it, don't feel as I'm doing anything out of the ordinary.

My Sub TT work the same
I a month have -2 sec
I think this is Rolex

RRGHOST1 · 23 February 2017, 07:47 PM

People get very obsessed with the accuracy of their watches.

RPB · 23 February 2017, 08:27 PM

It is strangely obsessive I find!
My 2009 GMT IIc was serviced December 2016 and I timed it using watch tracker app. It varied from day to day but for 42 days averaged +1.3 secs per day. Now I don't know what changed at day 43, but thereafter it was faster. I am on a new timing run and am already averaging +3 secs per day with a peak of +3.9 on one day. These things are amazing really so those of you at +1 are just superb watches.
However I would love to know what has changed for mine to be faster now. Pmsl.
I've got that watch timing disease!

Then you must have a Rolex watch in a million.

JElvis · 23 February 2017, 10:19 PM

My SubC Date - close to you at 24 days in, is -1.8. Very happy with this. Not as close at +1. But close :) Cheers and congrats.

JElvis · 23 February 2017, 10:21 PM

I think I misread your post -- Mine is -1.8 per day. Which I am absolutely happy about. +2 OVERALL is amazing. Nice.

1William · 23 February 2017, 10:33 PM

Very similar results with my Hulk when I wear it consistently.

TimeRookie · 24 February 2017, 12:40 AM

I keep track of my BLNR for interest sake. It loses .5 seconds for a while then gains a bit. It changes a bit every day depending on what I'm up to. Over the last 2.5 months it has gained 3.3 seconds which is impressive. At one point it had lost 8 seconds but has caught back up. It's interesting to track it but I don't think much about it. Love the watch and keeps great time. Good for you on yours!

Yeah, I'd imagine you'd fine that it would change by simply changing your lifestyle, like wearing it to work.

Oddly enough, even after regulation, I find that most of my mechanicals run a couple of seconds slow, so I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing day to day to make that so consistent, even across different brands.

Just dumb luck, I'd imagine.

mistermann · 24 February 2017, 03:30 AM

Funny story, I just checked it now and it's perfectly on time to the atomic clock.

I have a BLNR just back from service for a crystal replacement and accuracy calibration. after 14 days crystal is great. Accuracy, not so much. Its 53 second after 14 days. Grant it, its with in COSC but im disappointed considering it has the same movement as as the ones Rolex is advertising at +2/-2 day. Even more disappointed considering my 12 old GMT runs consistently +.3 a day.
