Virtually perfect regulation for your daily wear. Epic!
My 'old' 40mm is about 0.5 sec fast a day... and the crown lines up too.

Sorry, but that is unbelieveable and maybe impossible accuracy for a fully mechanical watch, but if it is really true you need to call Guinness book of world records, as that has to be one of the most accurate mechanical watches...

Awesome!
My 14270 was running at +2 after wearing it for about a week. Good enough for me. |

Apparently this is much more accurate than I can expect most new Rolexes to be. But I know you're buying the form and not the accuracy and that it being good accuracy is close enough. |

Don't apologize LOL. Moreover, I doubt if Guinness will be interested. I couldn't believe the accuracy myself but I checked the watch three times and obtained the same reading. I've had virtually every Rolex made, plus quartz and mechanical Omegas and Breitlings. I sold them all when I retired and wear my Sub 24/7 so maybe that pattern of use has something to do with the accuracy.

Tissot themselves claim +/- 10 seconds a day. Perhaps you have the most accurate tissot ever. The factory would probably like to examine it.

Oh I did notice in those first couple of months with it that the resting position made a big difference in the accuracy. I tested different angles and found that resting it crown up was what kept it regular. I read that no two watches are alike and you have to test the resting position on all watches to figure out which way works best. |

IMOP it is like not being able to appreciate the old growth forest for focusing on the hybrid potted tree you picked up at Lowes, in a snapshot of time, without regard to the amount of miracle grow and pruning that it took to get to that point and what it will be required in the future. Agree on the Seagull, and for it's cost it is impressive. But the ST19 is not comparable to a Rolex movement. As to the Tissot (a/k/a Swatch) Powermatic referred to above, it is also impressive for its price. But how long it will run like it does out of the box is questionable, as indeed is finding someone to regulate it a few years down the road. And what the case and bracelet will look like after heavy long term use is another matter entirely. https://calibercorner.com/tissot-caliber-powermatic-80/ Again. My $20 Casio is impressive for its cost and purpose. But a watch that will last half a century it is not. It's very much like my half century old Massey Ferguson. Yes, you can buy several cheap tractors for the price of a well made tractor. And yes, they look shiny and run great when you get them home. But how will they do 50 years down the road? You may not care about that. So, buy the cheap tractor.

Same here - it's the start of Daylight saving here later this evening, so I advanced the time by an hour this afternoon ready for tomorrow on my 2019 114060. In doing so I just realised I have not adjusted it for at least the last two months that it has been my daily wear....it's within a second after all that time!

I suspect this concentration on implausible levels of mechanical precision leads to long-term disappointment. You can be lucky, for a while. And Rolex make some of the best movements. But mechanical watches are inherently flawed , imperfect.
Just enjoy them. I gave up timing my Rolex years ago. Unless it’s causing problems, why bother? I mean, would you check your car against the stopwatch every month? |

The same watch on a different person will have a different accuracy. Also, if your individual wear pattern changes, your accuracy will change.
My buddy’s sub was consistently 2.5 spd fast. He is an engineer, and worked on a computer for eight hours a day. His watch spent a lot of time dial up during the day. He recently retired, and now his watch consistently runs 1.5 spd fast. Because he doesn’t spend all that time on the computer anymore, and his watch isn’t face up all day, it consistently runs at a different rate. |

I wear my Sub 24/7 and walk 3.5 miles with my dog every day. Perhaps that wear pattern contributes to the uncanny accuracy because I wear the watch on my walks and naturally give it a swinging motion as I move.
