I place this watch on my writ on 10th July 2019. Now 106 days later the watch has lost 1 second. When I started to wear the watch, I used the same Aton clock as last time. So my GMT lost in average 0.00943396 seconds per day. I wonder if this is accurate enough... I do not have any other watch which

Now 106 days later the watch has lost 1 second. When I started to wear the watch, I used the same Aton clock as last time. So my GMT lost in average 0.00943396 seconds per day. I wonder if this is accurate enough... I do not have any other watch which could reach the same. During the past 106 days, the watch has been on my wrist about 90% of the time - nights included.

Best, Kari

to be no doubt Rolex with this new movement has achieved what no watchmaker can equal in terms of accuracy from anyone's wearing habits in a mechanical watch. With the higher end brands the selling point is more movement finishing than pin point accuracy. While these other watches may get the variance close they just do not compensate for wearing habits as well as a Rolex can.

My Rolex GMT from 1986 is accurate to about 4 minutes per month. Your watch is a testament to Rolex’s ongoing commitment to producing great quality! Might have to wear my GMT today....

its not a Patek I "sold" mine to my brother at SRP since he likes it very much. I seldom wore it since it competes with some other watches for wrist time

However, I am retiring on 1st November and now it is time to wear a simple watch. I have, every now and then, some business meetings. Then it is time to wear something nice in platinum with complications. Nowadays I mostly go to meet my friends, to the shooting club and in general enjoy my life. Isn't a simple Rolex the watch for this kind of simple life? Kari
