+7 over 45 days

This Daytona must have been touched by an angel when it left the factory.


(Old pic)

Wore it to a race in mid-August, put it on the winder, then pulled it out just now.

Went to reset it and voila just +7 sec. per time.is website (same as I used to set it in mid-Aug.)

Anyone have the fortune to find similar accuracy "out of the box"?

My new BLNR is down only -5.2 seconds over 44.9 days per the Watch Tracker app on my iPhone (14 data points). Amazing mechanical engineering! Not to get off topic but my only issue so far is I noticed yesterday one of the screws in a link on the bracelet has started to work loose and is sticking out the side. Going to stop by the AD today to fix that as I don't want to scratch it up doing myself.

Hope tighter bracelet screw doesn't jinx it

This one is +12 secs after six months, with the help of overnight positioning. It will lose those 12 seconds if I rest the watch on its side overnight for about a week. The stopwatch hand has kept in synch with the sub seconds for the six months, too. Black Bay perfoms similarly. Love a good ETA

I'm up a second after 19 days on my Sub. I'm amazed and delighted. Just got the Watch Tracker app mentioned here so I can check in less frequently but monitor for the long term.

I don't have any data to back it up but have been wearing my BLNR on and off for the last 2 months or so and just checked it against the atomic clock in my house I set it to and is -1 sec!

I love the vibrant orange hand. Great watch
