I place this watch on my writ on 10th July 2019.






Now 106 days later the watch has lost 1 second. When I started to wear the watch, I used the same Aton clock as last time. So my GMT lost in average 0.00943396 seconds per day. I wonder if this is accurate enough... I do not have any other watch which could reach the same. During the past 106 days, the watch has been on my wrist about 90% of the time - nights included.

Best, Kari

Good to be here.

Nowadays I try to live a physical life and avoid the virtual part of the life. I think: "rather activities than just admiring products". Best, Kari

There seems

to be no doubt Rolex with this new movement has achieved what no watchmaker can equal in terms of accuracy from anyone's wearing habits in a mechanical watch. With the higher end brands the selling point is more movement finishing than pin point accuracy. While these other watches may get the variance close they just do not compensate for wearing habits as well as a Rolex can.
