My love towards Patek is not gone.

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?

Accurate enough?

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 ...  

That is astounding.

Good to be here.

Nowadays I try to live a physical life and avoid the virtual part of the life. I think: "rather activities than just admiring products". Best, Kari

There seems

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.... 

I do not like watches that run slow

Just kidding, very impressive accuracy! Congratulations!

LOL! [nt]

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....

But Kari

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

My love towards Patek is not gone.

the trend is to forget time in retirement and ditch all the watches. 180 from the gold retirement pieces of yore.

It's indeed quite impressive, I've never heard something like that [nt]

Congrats on your well deserved retirement, I wish you all the best!

I'm not anymore involved on a daily basis

and we have an English lawyer as a new CEO. On the other hand, I still hold the majority of the companies and thus, I'm working from the boards. Not as hectic as before but not totally ready to jump to the grave. Kari

Hmm.

You might have a lemon on your hands. You have given a lot to the forum so I’m going to do you a solid and swap you for a Casio g shock. You’re welcome. 🤣🤣🤣🤣I kid you of course. That is some excellent time keeping.

Kari, I also got my GMT C in July and I’ve worn it almost exclusively since

I think it’s the best watch of ever owned in terms of reliability, overall quality and all purpose versatility. I hope you continue to enjoy yours! ...  

I wonder very often why to wear something else.

I have my watches in the bank vault and at the moment do not see any reasons to pick up something. Naturally watches are nice. But I am trying to fight the virus and focus into normal and active life. I have at home soon a six weeks old daughter and she f... 

I should check both my head and liquids...

Fifth daughter. But she's cute and easy. Best, Kari
