I'd actually be interested in that myself
I have to say that the watches I've sent in over the past couple of years for service have returned keeping phenomenal time (I'll post a timing slip for one of them at some point), regardless of whether on wrist, winder, dresser, you name it. Has made me both more appreciative of the importance of service and curious as to how pronounced the rate drift really is with regard to servicing intervals. Bring it on!
Best,

Sometimes Time Really Does Fly By...
...I just looked at my trusty watch and discovered that today is the 38th month anniversary since I placed my deposit for a Simplicity. Last update on it was delivery towards the end of this year. I'm waiting patiently knowing that it will be worth it! Be...
Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a
banana. >;^) If i were you, I would be unable to contain my anticipation of receiving the 'grail watch'. Congrats on even being in the lineup.

it is widely known that the timekeeping is not very good thats bad for such an expensive watch

I've read one or two references to specific watches. Aren't you making a huge generalisation? Or are there more references I've not come across? nick

i have great respect for him but ialso ihave alot of respect for the people that spend time analyzing see the posts ibelieve that if you pay this type of money you should expect the best we do love in thi contry to create and admire icons
Spiro I'll give you another point of view
I have a Simplicity and have 3 other close friends who own one and in general our watches are fast 2-3 secs a day!! Does it now make the Simplicity the most accurate watch in the world? No because each experience is unique and generalisations are dangerou...
agreed, and to all who might conclude, somehow, from my recent comments...
Hi, Spiro, Rip (from WR) others who have drawn this conclusion - I tried to be as careful as humanly possible, short of NOT posting the actual timing results publically, that the actual results should not be the fodder for quick and easy conclusions about...

iam a surgeon and not awatch maker but i like toknow the attention to detail . people expect the most accuracy from me so iam no an icon but ihave had discussions with kari and other people about this thing ido not want to put the name of another young br...
please don't misunderstand me, Spiro, I feel the same way you do.
Kari is a wonder, and I have the utmost respect for his work. AND I like him, besides... I am really in a quandary; at the end of the day, you mention icons, and as someone who has been fascinated with consumer behaviour for as long, and almost as fervent...
Rate drift over the length of servicing intervals...
I'm more than happy to go there - but I don't think many people would follow nick
Here's a possible solution Thomas
Since you know Philippe Dufour quite well, why don't you just pick up the phone, give him a call and discuss your possible problem directly with him ? As you know, there is no assistant there, in general Philippe picks up the phone himself. Perhaps your w...
