" I'm growing a bit cynical with all the tour-booleans and other falderall that are advertised to 'improve' a watch's timing performance when all it takes is taking a bit of care and using the correct OLD technology. "
Completely agree. The effort and understanding to get the basics right is, to me, more fascinating than adding these "improvements".
Another thing I find about Rolex is their positional consistency. I have tried placing
my Milgauss in various positions at night. Most watches will change their timing, some of them quite a bit, depending on how they are lying at night. Some people use this to catch up a few seconds at night if their watch runs a bit slow on the wrist, or v...

Perhaps it's luck?
The Rolex GMT II I purchased new in December 2008 is not as accurate as my Breitling Superocean Steelfish (1/3 the price) or my Ulysse Nardin at the same price. I think its as likely that your Milgauss is not designed better, rather it is one that comes o...
Theoretically, gravity acts on at least two things; the balance spring and the bearings.
Gravity normally deflects the balance spring differently depending on which position it's in. The fact that Rolex uses overcoil balance springs gives them more symmetrical expansion and contraction, likely improving positional performance in that respect....

May be it's just a case of.... a good watch keeps good time, all the time.... anyway up or down.... and, A not so good watch, uses excuses of highly technical confusion about gravity, or magnetic forces, or temperature, or whatever...... to account for th...
