I have worn Bluesy for 18 days, and 6 hours now (taking off at night). I have not set it since I got it on Jan 1 at about 10:30am, or even unscrewed the crown. Occasionally I check the regulation of the watch, sometimes it's a bit fast, other times not.

I just checked it again. In 18+ days, my watch is......

+/- ZERO seconds!

I can't tell you how pleased I am!

Here's the proof (taken 15 mins ago):

The Cal. 3135 is amazing!

Nice wristshot, too!

CoopJr · 20 January 2008, 10:27 AM

Very cool

buz-lh · 20 January 2008, 10:38 AM

David that's awesome. Plus it's a pretty nice looking watch too.

Texsubmariner · 20 January 2008, 12:27 PM

That's a nice 16613. It's a classic Rolex.

sharif · 20 January 2008, 12:33 PM

That's a very clever picture too!! Nice work!

capncrunch · 20 January 2008, 01:13 PM

thats crazy accurate! Check it for a buzzing little crystal : )

Not so much with Rolex but I find alot of watches need a couple days to get accurate after sitting for a while.

Gil F. · 20 January 2008, 02:09 PM

Outstanding! Very cool wrist shot, by the way ....great capture!

JJ Irani · 20 January 2008, 02:36 PM

Well, it is the 3135 movement....probably one of the most accurate and dependable movements in the world!!

krattzz · 20 January 2008, 03:26 PM

Here is a novice reply - how do you know it lost zero seconds. Do you have a gauge or just doing it by eye?

Pretty Damn accurate!!! Congrats for your accurate Bluesy!!! Yeah like JJ said 3135 is one of the best Rolex movement.

StanGMT · 20 January 2008, 07:49 PM

Spot on!! It looks the part, too!!

frostie · 20 January 2008, 08:55 PM

That's pure perfection. The 3135 is indeed on of the best movements out there

Enjoy your bluesy and enjoy it's accuracy

No gauge, by the eye. I used the time.gov site
http://www.time.gov/timezone.cgi?Central/d/-6/java

to set my watch when I got it, and check it periodically to measure against my watch. My watch has been as much as 4 seconds fast and 1 slow during the 18 days I wore it.

As a clarification to my original post in this thread, I got the watch on Jan 2, not 1. Others may recall my worry about it not arriving in the time I expected by USPS Registered Mail.

krattzz · 21 January 2008, 02:55 AM

Got it, thanks for the link D.

How do you store it at night?

Crown up/down?

Honestly, either on its side or dial up, depending on how I put it in my jewelry box. No particular way, and varies night to night.
