My Sky-Dweller is very accurate too. Roughly -0.1 seconds per day with no attempts at regulation, worn on the wrist all day and night. Compare that to my brand new 114060 which looses 3.5 seconds a day.

I like the SkyD so much. If it were the same size and thickness of a DJ41, I'd long since have bought one.
(I assume at least part of the reason it's not is a thick movement, of course, and there's not much to be done about that.) |

I love an accurate watch. I know a lot of people don't care about it but I too keep track of how they run.

Very impressive! I love accurate watches as well, I check mine fairly regularly and marvel at the accuracy of the Rolex movements.

Yeah yeah all high quality mechanical movements can be regulated to... but is SkyD movement simply better able to be / hold regulation / accuracy? Hmmmm...

I've no idea how accurate my watches are. When I wear them they me keep on time for what I need. That seems good enough for me. Glad you love your Sky D; it's a great watch.

Not really apples to apples comparing an older movement to a new one with more advanced materials, lubrication and design.
