The last 3 weeks I have been checking my DSSD the same time each Saturday to measure the accuracy.

Week 1 - .57 seconds slow per day
Week 2 - .29 seconds slow per day
Week 3 - .14 seconds slow per day

And for all the mathematically challenged out there, thats 1 second slow PER WEEK divided by 7 days in a week. Thats right, 1 second slow PER WEEK!!

I wear it 24 hours a day so I have not been regulating by letting sit in different positions at night.

Just one more reason why I love this bad mutha shout yo mouth..............

I thought from the topic title you meant this:

The SETI "wow!" signal.

Sorry. Nothing to see here

Dan,

If you had underwater all the time, it wouldn't be that slow!!

slowhand100ca · 29 July 2012, 03:27 AM

the regulating in three positions- can nu please explain? my 1979 dj 16014 is running fast, 5 seconds per minute fast, i figure the balance wheel is got into short cycle, but why?>
maybe magnetized? i demagnitized it yesterday though the watchmaker did it in one second.....do I need to not wear it and place it in different positions?

mjclark32 · 29 July 2012, 03:37 AM

Nice results Dan

nauticajoe · 29 July 2012, 03:39 AM

...and I thought it was "Whip 'em out Wednesday"....

Good deal Dan.

DJJon · 29 July 2012, 03:48 AM

My Datejust definitely runs +0.7 seconds per day, measured over a week or more, right of the box, now 10 months old.

No need for this level of accuracy, but GREAT to have it !

I am not afraid to get cheesy poofs on my watch so yes, that is while eating them.............

patek.wis · 29 July 2012, 05:28 AM

Ive never timed my watches - am I a bad WIS?

Bangel · 29 July 2012, 07:25 AM

That's pretty amazing accuracy Dan.

I was wondering if you were going to update us on the timing of your DSSD this week and then I saw this thread!

Me neither....

Maybe we should get Dan a Quartz?!

Always nice to read good news about these watches rather than the "OMG my watch is off by x seconds, what should I do?" posts. Good to hear, Dan! Soiunds like you couldn't be happier.

Sadly my Sea Dweller has started gaining a bit of time lately. I must have smacked it into something. I'll have to find someone to regulate it as it's not service time yet.

Silvio Mosiello · 29 July 2012, 10:33 AM

I dont know how to see how accurate my watch is to that extent :(

Reading the first half of this, I thought you were saying your watch gained only 2 seconds over the course of 32 years!!

Pretty simple really. Just set it to known time source to the exact second. Wait a week and see how many seconds it is fast or slow. Take that number and divide it by 7 days and that will give you how fast or slow it is per day over that week.
