I have always liked 3-4 minutes fast. Feel like it gives me a little margin. What about the board??

My Rolex does it all by itself (every 24 hours)...

mrbill2mrbill2 · 26 April 2011, 07:33 PM

+ 2 min

dddrees · 26 April 2011, 07:41 PM

Nope

Art 1 · 26 April 2011, 07:51 PM

No.

Chris B · 26 April 2011, 08:07 PM

Never

Lion · 26 April 2011, 08:17 PM

No, I like to set it to the current time and reset once per month!!!

Jason71 · 26 April 2011, 08:22 PM

I typically reset mine at 1 min. slow and then only reset it once every couple months.

More than 2 min off either fast or slow drives me a little nuts........so I can't do that.

gqllc · 26 April 2011, 09:12 PM

nope

cedargrove · 26 April 2011, 09:21 PM

no

Rolexcess · 26 April 2011, 09:31 PM

Nope.

bighaole · 26 April 2011, 09:31 PM

No. I reset mine once every week or two. My wife, on the other hand, has every clock/watch set ahead by anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes. It drives me crazy whenever I get in her car. And the funny part is, she knows how fast each individual one is, so it doesn't even give the benefit of "fooling" her into leaving early.

Ceramic · 26 April 2011, 09:33 PM

+5 min at all watches and at all clocks :)

AK40DJ50 · 26 April 2011, 09:38 PM

No. Watch runs +2 sec/day and I reset it to the right time once a month.

watchf · 26 April 2011, 09:54 PM

No, the time sets itself fast to catch up with me

nauticajoe · 26 April 2011, 10:10 PM

Nope.

X2. Even then most Rolex will be within a few minutes either way,I gave up all this obsession with time checking many many years ago.

No, it throws me off when boiling eggs.

Rebel · 26 April 2011, 10:43 PM

wristwatch 2-3 fast
alarm clock on dresser 5 fast

Watch Professor · 26 April 2011, 11:42 PM

No. I'm too OC to have my watch off by more than a few seconds.

Passionata · 27 April 2011, 02:44 AM

no,must be dead on therefore i got a rolex

CashGap · 27 April 2011, 02:51 AM

Nope, dead on once per month on the first of the month (GMT is usually 29 to 31 seconds fast by then).

I also do the "40 manual winds" weekly, right before church starts.

Noonan · 27 April 2011, 02:54 AM

I keep mine 2 min fast due to it running about -5 sec a day. I also hate being late so it helps a bit.

buke45 · 27 April 2011, 03:08 AM

15 min fast

onryo · 27 April 2011, 03:12 AM

No, my girlfriend does this to all the clocks in the house and it drives me crazy. Her reasoning is that "she's never late." I have to keep my watch set to the correct time because every other clock is set at least 5 minutes fast.

JUSTROLEXES · 27 April 2011, 03:13 AM

right on the Dot

Chipmunk · 27 April 2011, 03:17 AM

No but it goes fast itself after a couple of days.
