New 104 accuracy

After 3 days of testing (I know who cares!) my new 104 is dead on accurate. I'm saying it is exactly to the second dead on. That is 259,200 seconds and is perfect time keeping.

Funny back story. When I picked it up from the fed Fed Ex office I set it in my car to my cell phone. Just a wind up and just set the date and time by the minute hand, no seconds or anything like that. When I got home I wanted to note the time against the web site "World Time Clock". I looked at the computer then at my watch and it was set exactly as the World Time showed. To the Minute and second. I thought "wow what a coincident!" Usually I see it 20 seconds different or so then note that down, then 2 days later or so I check again and see how many seconds it gains or looses. Now I won't do that again for maybe 5 years, but am always curious upon receiving a new watch. (Or used. In the case of the used Omega 2254.50 I purchased it was 27 seconds slow, and that watch also needed a new dial, so back it went to the Dealer. I wasn't going to spend a grand to fix it)

Yes, the top grade ETA is a very solid, reliable and robust movement.
