Since you guys are so worried about the accuracy on your rolex's do you set them so they are spot on time or do you set them a minute or two faster?

frostie · 30 March 2008, 11:17 AM

I always set mine to be spot

Most of mine are a second or two fast, so I generally set them about a half minute behind. I figure they will catch up.....

Ever since DST, mine has been spot on with wwp.greenwichmeantime.com!

Spot on for me too!

Spot on, however, in real life situations, it really doesn't matter, whether it's spot on, or not. At home our clocks have different time--not synchronized.

When I take the train, the time at the station is different from my watch. When I get to work, the time on my phone & computer are different.

I firmly believe that, "time" in real life, is not spot on!

My 2 cents.

I set mine right to the second. I use my $200.00 casio that synches every night to the atomic clock.

What is the correct way to set the minute hand?
Say you need to set it to 12:00, do you
1. set it at say 12:10 and then move it back to 12:00, or
2. set it at 11:50 and then move forward to 12:00?

Jocke · 30 March 2008, 07:20 PM

I just set it at the same minute, never sync the secondhand.
