I appreciate the mechanical movements for what they are, not because of their accuracy. IMO, syncing your watch to the atomic clock every morning is pointless. But as the saying goes, to each their own. |

"Considering these watches are far from accurate and would require daily adjustment, I see it as a complete waste of time." |

No worries. It was a general statement. I'm happy that your watch is exceptional. Mine being within spec and my only expectation is that the time is relatively close. I don't expect precision from a mechanical watch hence not finding it necessary to sync to the second only to be disappointed.

And I thought I was alone being precision freak, I make sure the minute hand is exactly on the line when the second hand is on the 12.
I also monitor my watch to see how many second it differs from the atomic watch per day. My Sub is incredibly accurate: less than -1 second per month. My GMT2 gains 7 seconds per days, too fast for me, I sent it to RSC to slow it down, hopefully they will fix it to meet my crazy expectations. |

Only when I set other people's watches to time after a service. For my own, I couldn't care less.

Amateurs. How many of you have all of the screws holding your light switches and electrical outlets in your house all parallel to the ground?
