Explorer gaining 5-7 sec per month...
just purchased a pre-owned (2016) Explorer II 216570 Polar a couple of months ago from a TS on TRF and I wear it pretty much everyday. Very happy with my first purchase.
I've noticed it gained about 5-7 seconds over the course of 30 days. Is that a big deal? |

Are you being sarcastic because that’s so accurate?

Yep, that's a big deal. That's about as accurate as you could hope for in an automatic!

Yes, it is a big deal. The deal is that you have a great watch, better than average.

... the Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomtres (COSC) standard deviation rate of -4 to +6 seconds within a 24 hour day, tested over a ten day period of chronometer testing, in five positions and at three temperatures. Watches that are within -4 to +6 seconds deviation in a 24 hour period are awarded Official Chronometer Certification by COSC and the movement is engraved with a chronometer serial number. Rolex has a self-imposed stricter standard of -1 to +5 seconds per day and hence the designation, "Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified" on the dial of any certified Rolex watch

Lol it's outside the guarantee of + or - .0005 secs per month
The guarantee now is + or - 2 secs/day Though at 5-7 secs a month it just may be magnetized |

Let’s just say I paid probably 5-6x more for my brand new DD, and your watch is more than twice as accurate as mine. I think you should be thrilled that your watch is so accurate.

That was until the Seiko Grand come on the scene and started to wipe the floor with the Swiss mechanical watch industry.Now in those days only 2 brands in the + 23 years of the competitions submitted movements of only serial production for retail sale(Seiko and GP).All other movements were specially made movements just for the competition test and not then for retail sale. Now Seiko first entered the competition,with other watches from all over the world,including most of the Swiss high end brands.But then for a much higher standard than todays COSC,the Astronomical Observatory Authorisation Chronometer Standard (+/- 2/3 seconds/day) Out of many watches submitted only two passed this test a Seiko Grand just a production model, and Giraud Peregaux this time a specially build for the test model.And in the late 1960s there were only two companies, who could sell watches, passed astronomical observatory authorisation Chronometer in those days,just Seiko and Giraud Peregaux.As the Japanese had dominated the tests in the very late 1960s and the two preceding events the early 1970s.And in 1972 many of Swiss watch manufacturers demanded the end of the observatory competitions,and it was ended in 1973,now thats when the Swiss COSC was founded but run by the Swiss for the Swiss brands only I wonder why. __________________
