Accuracy
I know I know if I want accuracy I should buy a quartz.
However I've had my GMT2C for 3 weeks now which I set to 1 minute fast and it's stayed that way since. Maybe because I wear it everyday as my main watch but I wasn't expecting it to keep this accurate. Very happy. ;)

14 days after I bought my Explorer II and set it with the atomic clock, it is still +/- 0
This is absolutely impressive, considering that I took 1 10-hour flight, 1 4-hour flight and another 2-hour flight. Such changes should have had some sort of negative effect, but so far, nothing wrong. I love this watch! |

As long as any watch is properly serviced and regulated, good time keeping isn't surprising.

The Rolexes I have had are great - but I am also very impressed with the ETA movements in the 2 Ball watches I have. In a week they might be +/- a few seconds.

I have a 60 year old Omega Seamaster that is +/- a second or two a day. Just keep it serviced.

It is a Rolex. What else did you expect? They are awesome time pieces

I could explain how accurate my V Series Explorer II has been since the day I put in on in my AD almost three years ago -- few may believe it...but here goes: I have never adjusted (hacked) the second hand since that day and today (after setting it 30 seconds fast almost three years ago) it is plus 12 seconds from the atomic clock. It has never stopped ticking as I wear it almost 24/7. With this caliber changing date or hours of time does not hack the seconds thus it is a true measure of time-keeping over that span.

Yup, both my Subs are dead on. Today I laughed when I realized that my SubC cost me more than my p/u truck.

I too appreciate accuracy. My M series Explorer II that I bought 3 months ago is +1 sec/day and my G series DJ that I've had since June 2011 is +2 sec/day. Both are easily adjusted to spot on by using the appropriate resting postion overnight.
