I've had my Explorer (216570) now for about a year and a half. Had to send it in RSC Toronto over a year ago to be regulated. Within COSC standards after I got it back but otherwise nothing special. I reset the time two weeks ago (using time.gov) & just checked it this morning. I don't think it's even a half a second off!

I'm not complaining, I love it! But why the sudden uber-accuracy?

Excellent!! Bought my new 216570 last September and had it regulated because it was +7s/day. It was then consistently +1s/day and I was quite pleased. Just for fun, leaving it in various positions overnight seemed to have no effect. About a month ago I started wearing it 24/7 and now it's consistently 0.3s/day, actually slightly less. I check it every seven days and it gains two seconds.

Some folks will tell you that watches "settle in" depending upon the owner's activity and wearing habits.

That is awesome Padi! I'll let you know how my watch is doing in 32 years! Hopefully as well as yours.

Wow...good deal! Now don't check it again for a couple of years!

I recently had my sub serviced by a highly recommended indy watchmaker. He showed me the tape produced by his machine...it was dead on. I am losing about 5 seconds per day. I hope that it will improve, but I realistically know that it won't. It's not a big deal, but it's annoying to have to reset it after leaving it on a winder all week! My everyday, beater TAG quartz, of course, never needs to be reset!
