Most Accurate

Had the "Vault" open over the weekend to update my group shot. Always a good time to play with some pieces that don't get a lot of wrist time. Kudos to Dallas RSC for the wonderfull job they did servicing this piece. 48 hours and ZERO deviation reguardless of position. Gotta love the 15xx movement!

Mike great picture and watch and like you favour the 15XX series movements said it several times before.But I will say it again, IMHO the finest that Rolex Aegler ever produced.

Thanks! That's a 2.4 mil. 1970 on the case back. Non-hacking, non quick-set.

Good going Mike, you would be happy just to own any red sub, but to have that sort of accuracy is outstanding. I go along with Peter, the 15XX calibre movement is an excellent time keeper, very rugged and long wearing.
I have several watches with 15XX movements and would classify them as my favorite watches, classics both aesthetically and technically.

I'm sure their will be a long list of people wanting to purchase this watch from Mike if he ever wants to part with it.
I'll be on that list also...

From all I've seen the "RED" goes for some serious $$$ and in pristine condition...ouch
