How accurate is your Rolex ?
I have had this GMT2 about 10 days now and when it arrived I set it to an ipad app called world time, has local time too and i suppose its accurate any how I synced the second hands, 10 days later my GMT looks to be trailing by 2 seconds.
good luck |

I think this has been covered before but I'll give my input!
Mine is about +2 secs per day depending on activity. Well within COSC standards and on a personal note, I prefer watches faster rather than slower. ^_^ |

Never bothered to check the accuracy. I have never been late for train/meeting/flight though.

All my Rolex are accurate enough for me, as my life is not run to the exact second. So a few seconds either way out of 86400 seconds in a day will do for me, might check once in while if a minute or so either way will re-set.

How accurate is the timing by seconds on this site?
Can I measure and set my sub by the time on the site?

My old ( 1986 ) sub is good, gains about 5 secs a day. My other two aren't so good the oyster perpetual date from 2009 gains about 10 secs a day and my 18 month old datejust turn-o-graph gains about the same. I'm thinking of sending the Thunderbird back to the makers to be regulated under warranty.

My GMT IIc gains 0.5 secs a day and loses that at night (crown up) I think the point is that for a mechanical watch, that ain't bad.

My Daytona 116520 is .5 seconds plus a day.
The Explorer II 216570 is 1 second plus a day. My Sub 14060M is running minus 2 a day.

My Daytona is ridiculously accurate for a Rolex.
The rest are still within COSC specs. |

There seems to be a minor obsession around here with G-Shocks (positive and negative). I doubt I've ever actually seen one (or actually known it was a G-Shock), what's the deal with them?
