Master Reference Clock

What source do you guys use? I just set my watch to the Official U.S. time @ time.gov. Any preferences? - USNO Master Clock, GMT, ect.

Thanks,

I use my GPS, I suppose that's the same as http://www.time.gov/ in the long run.

has anyone checked our clock up top of the screen, I think it is running about 10 seconds slow when I compared it to time.gov. But we have a clock here for testing purposes. Have fun and don't forget a Rolex must be tested in all 5 pos(?) (I think it is to truly understand if it is losing or gaining time when it's over and done with and averaged out)

According to my watch, it's running about 90 sec. slow.

BTW, this is what I use to calibrate my other watches:



Or I use www.time.gov.
