My 2 yr old Hulk has been super accurate lately. I've gained +1 second over the past 2 weeks.

I have no idea how accurate any of my watches are! If I need a split second accurate time reading, I check my phone

The most accurate mechanical watch I’ve ever owned has been my Bremont Alt1 ZT-BK. It’s deviated by very little over a year and a bit. It’s accuracy does depend upon how much I use the chrono functions. Here is a photo of its performance on my Watch tracker app.



I’ve never had any of my Rolexes come close to that. My 1675 is much less accurate (but is in need of a new hour wheel) My Bremont has a pretty rough time of things too — I never take it off.

I just picked up a Milgauss from 2010 and it is running a hair under 3 seconds slow. It seemed to be dead on all day but lost the two seconds while I slept ( I wore it). I am going to monitor it but I think -2-3 seconds per day is pretty good. I think my old manual speedmaster lost about 8 seconds a day.

My plan is to let it it sit on the bedstand face up tonight. Maybe that will help balance it. I bought it from a store so hopefully it has just been sitting up and needs to stretch its legs.

Here is my 16710 just recently regulated early last month. I never thought it was up to par since its first service in January. Now it settled in just about right since then. Next photo is of the LV Anniversary, never serviced but regulated with new seals.

My 1977 1603 is somewhere between +1 and 0, just use how it sits overnight to adjust the time.

Well, I sent my 1675 off to RSC to get treated to a new hour wheel (see my post last year). Here’s the result after 44 days of continual wear:



I won’t be able to track it beyond the 30th, as I’ll need to reset the date and that means hacking the watch on the caliber 1575. It’s currently gaining just over 4spd worn 24/7 and not treated lightly (I hand split 2 cords of wood with it on last week).

It’s not as accurate as my Bremont by far, but it’s also just shy of 50 years old!



My AD said he’d snug up the accuracy if I wanted, but I’m not terribly unhappy with it.

I just purchased a new GMT II and according to "Toolwatch" it is +5.8 spd fast. It is still breaking in as I have only had it for 3-4 days. My other GMT is at -0.7 and my 35 yr old Datejust that I just had serviced is +0.0 - pretty good considering.

My 16570 Polar (Z serial, 2006) is at about +0.1spd. Pretty much perfect! It was serviced by RSC last year but even before that is was around +1spd.

I too have a Bremont Alt-1 ZT (No. 2 of 50 Ltd Run for my Squadron) and is within a couple of second per day so pretty happy with that too.
