Icon20 Accuracy Observation

My Rolex Datejusts gradually gain time. My Rolex Submariner gains time more rapidly than the DJ's. My Omega DeVille loses time fairly rapidly. BUT my Jaeger LeCoultre Master Control for the most part stays right on time. Maybe there IS something to the old saying that "you get what you pay for"?

I think it's coincidence. My sub stays right on time +1 second/day AVERAGE. So sometimes 5 days will go by and it will still be dead on.

I set my Daytona to GMT the day after I picked it up almost a month ago. I checked it this morning and it only lost 15 seconds. I put it on a winder every night after I take it off. I can deal with that.

My 16613 is to this day (bought in 2007) +- 4 seconds a week, it's phenomenal! It's not due for service for another few years but I'm already dreading sending it in because no way will it come back that precise
