Horological Meandering

I saw a post earlier regarding regulating a watch and how accurate it can be made. What is your tolerance for accuracy, a second or two a day, 3,4 or more? The way I look at it is this way, I want my watches to be accurate but they don't have to be right ... 

I rotate my watch on daily basis and don't believe in winders(hence my love for three hands w date watches) so set them whenever I wear them

like leaving your car in the garage idling.

It would bother me though to know that my watch is not "accurate". But then again, i dont test them at all. Just wear the.

It would bother me IF my watch is not accurate, but I don't test them to find out... just trust the manufacturer with overhauls

I must admit I don’t really care about the accuracy, if it’s unworn for a while you must adjust or wind it anyway But I do like winders just for the convenience of just having to set time and occasionally the date but most of the times the watch I want is...

I have only ever worn mechanical (mainly automatic -winding) watches. I have become accustomed to whatever watch I am wearing to be accurate within about 5 minutes per month. I am totally good with that. Recently, I bought a brand new Patek Philippe 5320g... 

That 324 workhorse movement in your 5320G is quite something.

If a watch includes a chronograph then it 100% should be +/-

to be accurate. Even if I know that these are mechanical watches. I have the luck that most of my watches are reliable in this respect. I can easily accept +1 to +4 seconds per day, but cannot bear when one of my watches loses time. Thanks for this intere... 

. . . under ten seconds per day. Any more than that and it's back to my watchmaker for regulation. Art
