Lol, nearly five year old thread. I was reading through and saw JJ's post and was like wth...someone's using his pic...no wait, what....ohhhh, 2008. Hahaha.
Anyway since it's up, my SD is plus like 3 seconds or something like that.

Get it regulated to -4 to +6 secs. FYI. You don't need to resurrect a 5yr old thread to ask a question.

Which time source do you guys use to calibrate the time to your watch?
I've been using www.time.gov , but not sure if they are really that accurate. Because based on the their time I calibrated to lastnight at 2:24am, my ExpII is already 2 seconds faster after 11 hours. Alternatively, could I rely on the clock that is running at the top of this forum?

If none of the online clocks are truely accurate, then I guess I need to buy an atomic clock.

To me a "Rollie" is a camera. It doesn't have a clock on it......

I have a one of those radio controlled "atomic" clocks that I use and since I last set my watch, 56 days ago, I'm off 6 seconds. Also, I wear my watch all the time except while working out and sleeping where it is crown up.

Cheers,

Jonathan.

My SS Sub-C LN gains roughly 0.4 seconds per day, averaging through a month. I'm truly impressed by this, although clearly I'm not alone. Kudos to Rolex on designing impressively accurate movements

I use the USNO Master Clock and my 32 year old GMT-Master 16750 currently runs at -4 over a 24 hour period
