End of Month Time Check - +24 seconds in May !

[DJJon]

My 116233 Datejust was new in October. I used to check it for time keeping daily or every 2,3,4 or 5 days and it always worked out to be about +0.7 seconds per day fast.

Trying not to be OCD about the watch and its gains and losses over the course of a day or week, I actually took the entire month of May off charting its performance. So today I checked it against www.time.gov

While we all know a single check like this after a 31 day period is absolutely NOT the same as a daily/3 day/1 week on-going check, after 30+ days it is running +24 seconds using www.time.gov on the same computer. This works out to +0.8 seconds per day, close to the all the prior OCD checks in the last 6 months before this.

So the DJ is humming. Happy beyond belief !

I'm + 104 seconds in 31 days as of now. Still within COSC

OK, I'm not crazy

On the 1st of every month I set the watch I'm wearing that day and write it down in my personal note book that I keep on my desk with random thoughts and brillant ideas I have yet to work on..........

As of today the sub is 84 seconds fast

I don't go a month without setting my watch or changing watches and I often lose count of the days I go without setting, but all mine are keeping good time and well within COSC.

When I wore quartz watches, I would set my watches each day, especially the digital ones, to WWV.

Switching to mechanical watches has cured me of that obsession, although I used to enjoy doing it.
