I have just concluded a 28 day accuracy test of my new Datejust 41. During this four week trial, I wore the watch continuously (24/7) during weeks 1 and 3 and kept it on an Orbita winder during weeks 2 and 4. After those four weeks, my watch was a total of 14 seconds fast, thereby gaining approximately 3-1/2 seconds per week or an average of 1/2 second per day.

To me, that is a damn impressive result. I have only one other watch in my collection that demonstrates such long-term accuracy -- a Panerai PAM165.

Thats some fine craftsmanship!

I have estimated, by comparison to various clocks that change the minute accurately, that mine (new DJ41) has gained 10-12 seconds in about 3-4 weeks. So very similar, I'd guess it runs about 1/3 second fast each day. Which is absolutely amazing.

I wore it every day for about 18 hours each during that time, no winding at all.

Nice! SS SkyD blue worn 24/7 for a week... +/-0.5

Nice Steven.
It's even more amazing that watches with more complications like your SkyD are still very consistent/accurate.

Very cool - thanks for sharing

That's awesome, thanks for sharing! I've had my Milgauss for about 5 months now, and while it fluctuates a second or two in either direction day-to-day depending on my wearing habits, it has stayed within the same 5 second range since I purchased it. Don't know what kind of sorcery Rolex employs to make these watches, but I like it.

Wow, that's excellent. I got an Explorer II 216570 in July. It gains 1/2 to 1 second a day. I haven't taken it off except to shower since I got it. I do set it to the atomic clock when it exceeds +5 seconds however. I have done that with all of my watches with hacking capability and digital watches from the start.

Here’s some data from my DJ41. Unbelievably accurate.
