I've had 2 PAM's, sold them both - won't criticise, as that's a great looking watch, they just don't 'do it' for me. What I'd love to know is how close your watch is to the COSC specs? - both of mine were way off COSC, like they just make those numbers up and scribble them on the sheet! - soon fixed by my dealer, but seemed really odd??!! - OK, Rolex don't give you that document, but it doesn't seem relevant in real life!

My AquaTerra Chronograph runs around plus 2 seconds a week and it is the most accurate watch I have. Wether it sits or it is worn, it usually gains around 6 to 8 seconds a month.
The Seamaster Titanium runs about plus 4 seconds a day, but it's 5 years old and beat up like crazy.
The Speedy pro, which is 25 years old or better, runs plus 2 seconds a day.
The Planet Ocean is doing about plus 1 per day.

With the exception of the Speedy pro, they are all COSC.

One thing that you need to take into account is that COSC certifies the raw movement, before it is built into the watch.
So basically all that the COSC means is that you have a watch with a movement capable of maintaining a 99.98 percent accuracy.

Nice one! We still have a 114. White dial pannys are cool

Launch Mini · 9 February 2006, 03:33 PM

Not too concerned about accuracy. Haven't checked yet. Will give it a month of "break in" wrist time, then check.
As it is a manual wind, it is no problem to adjust a bit here & there.
With the 16610, It's +1 sec a day.
I just wanted a nice watch on a strap to compliment the bracelet of the Rolex.
So for, the only comment on the Pan was " I see your eyesight must be getting worse"
