I've tested out the accuracy of my new 114060.

[hbk75]

Wound it up full and left it to rest. After 24 hours, still same spot with my quartz clock. 44 hours later re-checked. Still almost same spot as my quartz clock.

Does that mean my watch is accurate? After conducting a 40 hours test on it's accuracy.

I am not so particular about extreme accuracy. I do not sync the second hand to 12 when setting time.

As long as your watch stays in COSC values, it is accurate..

Incredibly accurate considering its a mechanical watch.

Does the new blue hair spring performs better?

I do not really check the accuracy via seconds. I just match the minute hand of my rolex against the quartz clock. So long they are at the same positions I presumed that it is accurate enough.

i've seen alot of people getting stressed up with the accuracy of their new rolex and they got it regulated at RSC.

how often does a brand new rolex performs out of cosc specs? i thought they were tested and certified?

out of the 4 rolex i got brand new, all are running within specs. even for the 2 liner 14060m which is not a certified movement.

Good stuff

[hbk75]

i have a new stowa flieger with eta 2824-2 cosc. it runs 120 seconds faster after 34 days.

so 120 / 34 = +3.5 seconds per day.

i thought tested movements are supposed to perform within specs?

[tkerrmd]

good to hear

[hbk75]

thanks all for the replies.

but nobody told me whether 44 hours of testing is suffice to access it accuracy?

Probably more of a measure to wear it for a week or two and then see what it does. 44 hours is kind of short for your test.

good to hear that. but my personal experience is that when a movement is inaccurate. it will show up quickly in a test. probably 12/24 hours and we will usually see the differences.

Kinda misleading actually. The raw movements are tested in test cases. Then they are assembled into the specific case for the reference. Then they are shipped.

More than once watches have been knocked out in transit. As well how a particular watch preforms on a machine may not be how it preforms on your wrist.

We beat the accuracy thing up a lot without understanding the key is consistency. A watch that gains or loses 7 seconds consistenly in extremely accurate. It just needs regulated.

One that has wide swings in gain/loss is another matter.

Thanks for the explanation. Being consistent is the key here. But I seldom see new rolex that actually came badly out of spec from the box.

My 14060M 2 liner is the most accurate Rolex i've ever owned.

I had one too. very accurate. i can go on for 2-3 months without re-adjusting the time.

[Racerdj]

My last two are extremely accurate.

[Friar]

I've had my Explorer 1 for three weeks now. It gains 1s/d on the wrist during the day. If placed crown up (9H) at night, it loses that second. Now three weeks later, it is dead on. Since the pattern seems set, I can stop checking now and transfer my OCD to other arenas! :-)

[datejusting]

Based on your 44 hour test, I would say that your watch is accurate enough to suit your needs.

No matter the model or brand its only as good as what its been regulated too end of story.

i guess so. i am not too particular about timing issues unless they are extreme. like my seiko diver which is 30 seconds fast per day. i cannot live with the fact that I will need to re-adjust it every 2 days so i got it regulated.

[Andad]

Your 114060 looks like it keeps good time if you are using it as a clock.

Take a time check and wear it as you intend to for a month.

Calculate the daily variance and get back to me.

Same here, it's more accurate than my 114060 COSC
