anyone got a vintage Rolex Precision Manual?
I just picked one out model 6427. Like the looks --what accuracy to expect ? Mine is about 16sec fast per day. it is circa 1967. Is this ok?

Saluti ! I have a 1942 6422 and it runs at a steady loss of about 6 secs. a day .Not
bad for a 68 yr. old , eh ? I like the fact that it's nice and light on the wrist and also people do comment on it's simple elegant style. Enjoy !!! |

Let me give you an accuracy update on the 68 yrs. old 6422. I haven't checked it
against another timepiece for about 10 days , last set it from the atomic clock transmission from Rugby , England. Today at 1300 Hrs. I heard the pips on a B.B.C. Radio station and on the very last pip I glanced at my watch......2 seconds Fast ? No, can't be I thought , sooooo.......into the next room to check Rugby clock......2 secs. fast ! Spooky but true , them thar Swiss build pretty good watches eh ? |
