My 54 year old Rolex is +3 secs/day

The Rolex 6238 “Pre-Daytona.”

Pretty amazing. Rolex quality for decades.

I really wish they would make a non-Daytona Chronograph again. IMO it is one of the purest and most beautiful designs they’ve ever produced.

Great looking watch and fantastic accuracy and not even a Rolex made movement inside, but one from ETA Valjoux with the 72B manual wind chronograph movement.
