Hi guys,

Just wanted to share the good news regarding my new DSSD's precision...

In 48h it is .......

+- 0sec!!!

Wow!

Probably it's in the .1s of a second off, but still, it's clearly whit-in one second.

Way to go Rolex!

Nice and that's the way it should be! Enjoy that watch! The DSSD is awesome

STP · 9 April 2010, 10:26 AM

That's an awesome result. Funny how some people say the parachrom is just a marketing gimmick but with its increased resistance to shock & magnetic fields no wonder more modern Rolexes have consistently shown themselves to be more accurate than the non parachrom watches. Even though the nivarox is still very good & accurate, the parachrom seems to be an improvement with regard to accuracy.

Mine is running -3/24hr. Not too happy with it..

dmc · 9 April 2010, 12:55 PM

Just as it should be.

It may run ahead and drop back over a few months, I think they run a little faster in cool weather, than in warmer weather.

I have read that most of the newer DSSD's are usually quite accurate.

Congrats on the watch by the way...

gmaines · 9 April 2010, 01:07 PM

mine is also right on...

armoredsaint · 9 April 2010, 01:09 PM

doesn't it depends on what orientation your watch is at? like on it's left/right sides, back or upside down can make it run faster/slower?

Singslinger · 9 April 2010, 01:10 PM

Yes, mine is also spot-on after several days' use.

steveseiko · 9 April 2010, 01:28 PM

Mine is averaging +1.5/day so I'm very pleased. My most accurate automatic.

bayerische · 9 April 2010, 05:00 PM

Thanks!

Oh yes, I'm happy as long as it's within COSC specs. Almost 3 days now, and It's still right on. I'm using this for measuring: http://www.time.gov/timezone.cgi?Eastern/d/-5/java

Although I would prefer any mechanical watch to gain slightly,your watch is showing 99.997% accuracy.And IMHO thats fantastic accuracy for any mechanical watch.Rolex watches in general have been fantastic timekeepers for decades.But for accuracy the main thing is how they are regulated,I have Cal 1520 and Cal1560 watches running + 1 and + 2 seconds a day.You could try resting your watch when off wrist flat dial up might pull back a second or so but your watch is running fine.

Great to hear that your watch is working the way it should be, Andreas.
Again I must congratulate you on your new purchase. The DEEPSEA is a really really cool watch, to say the least!

Thanks Joe!

I'm so happy with it.

Now it's 4 days in, and I can't believe it... It's still +- 0.

I mean, how is this even possible??? Is there a quartz inside?

bayerische · 14 April 2010, 06:49 PM

9 days in +/- 0 sec. Again, probably in the 0.1's on a second, but too small for me to measure it.

It's unbelievable.

The Dude · 14 April 2010, 11:24 PM

Great ... mine is -4 seconds a day

Well, I wouldn't be too happy with that, but still within specs. Mine must be an extra special model...

-4 sec/day seems just fine to me.

chris russell · 15 April 2010, 06:50 AM

I probably shoulda kept it.

springbar · 15 April 2010, 06:51 AM

With regulation, it should be possible to remove all of the fixed offset, leaving you with only the periodic + random error.

For example, if your watch is 4 seconds +/- 1 second fast, you should be able to adjust out the 4 seconds so it runs +/- 0.5 seconds per day.

It's unbelievable.

Wear my deepsea in rotation with several others, averages about every 7 days. If I am diligent and wind it when not wearing it loses less than 1 second per week. Watch is usually stored caseback down. When I have worn it for several days in a row, it certainly doesn't lose or gain any time.
It is by far the most accurate mechanical watch I own.

Andreas, that is awesome! Love the DeepSea!

Mockingbird · 15 April 2010, 09:30 AM

That's amazing! I wish my watches kept time that well... But then again, I'm not the type to obsess with that.
