Excellent timekeeping
So I’ve just checked the timing of my 3 watches over an entire week.
My 3 watches are : Apr 2000 GMT2 Pepsi Dec 2014 GMT2 BLNR Nov 2017 Deepsea James Cameron Over a week of rotational wear, the results are ; Pepsi +9 seconds BLNR +\- 0 seconds Deepsea +7 seconds I am amazed at that accuracy over a week, with the worst at +1.29 seconds a day. Impressive stuff!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Good results but to be fair the insides are probably frozen....

Did you have them on a winder when not worn or just laying? Same position? I find I can “self regulate” to ~0.1 spd on my Yacht-Master by laying it crown down at night (loses ~1.1 spd overnight and gains ~1.2 spd when worn).

Sadly I sold it in persuit of a Daytona that I didn’t bond with. I loved that Watch, and it’s the Watch I got married wearing. Big mistake selling it. |

It stuns me about this amazing machine work of art. My 17 year-old YM tracks same as your Pepsi (also 17 years old : ). These rolexes are so amazing. Beautiful. Bullet-proof. Reliable. Amazingly accurate. |

Nairn, I remember you mentioned your pepsi was beyond the COSC (-4 to +6 spd) requirement and you were not very happy about it. Now it seems to get improved. Congrats!

Such a tough one.
If I had to move one on I’d truly struggle to choose, as I love all 3. If I could only keep one it would be one of the GMTs, and probably as the ultimate daily wearer, the Pepsi would take that award. However to pick a favourite I’d really struggle. |

Is there any truth in the notion that depending on how you lay the watch at night it can gain or lose time? I just wanted to know because if a watch is on a rubber strap it's impossible to keep it on its back with the dial faced up....

In my experience, yes, there is some truth to this. Just takes a little trial and error to figure it out. I suppose all watches are different but I generally find my watches gain time when dial up, lose time when placed crown down.

Yup, the "superlative chronometer certified" is impressive. Always experienced this with Rolex in past 2 decades. GMT, Sea Dweller, Daytona, Explorer 2, they all do exceptionally. They are consistent and stable no matter the usage style. Very capable indeed.
