ZERO deviation on the GENIUS - now we're talkin', baby!!

Hi guys,

Just over a month now that I've had the new TT GMT-IIC which was actually losing like 2~3 secs./day when it was new.

A month later and now it's absolutely SPOt-ON when worn on the wrist. No time deviation whatsoever.

When laid down to rest at night, CROWN UP, it does tend to lose like just HALF a second; but on the wrist.......PERFECT!!

Would be curious to know how others with the same watch are getting on.

Thanks - JJ

Hello JJ :)

My gmt2c runs about 2 or 3 seconds fast daily same as my GV. Can ask for any better than that imo. very impressed by the accuracy and stable amplitude of that watch. + she's not too hard on the eyes either

JJ I bought mine around the end of July. It still runs around 3 seconds slow per day. I have not found that things change much. If I wear it, then 3 seconds. If I do not wear it and keep it wound, then around 3.5 to 4 seconds per day are lost. I thought that maybe it would speed up as it broke in. I even wear it in the hot tub to see it the heat would make a difference. But nothing much alters it. So I guess I could say it it very precise.

I told you it would settle JJ......I still remember your post about this when you seemed worried it was slow!!!
Mine to was slow for almost 2 months but then it went +2 after the "break" in and is still consistant at that!!
Actually I might even pull it out tonight!!!!! Hasn't hit the wrist in about 5 weeks It is still the Fav though!!
