Superlative Chronometer...no more.
By: Lankysudanese : June 11th, 2020-05:25
This is a rant, so please feel free to ignore if (like most of us) you are here for some positive post-COVID-lockdown news. I just received my first generation batman after I had sent it to geneva headquarters >4months ago for superlative regulation. And ...
A few thoughts..

First, very nice watch. I am not a Rolex guy, but the “Batman” is one of the few I find pleasing. That being said, perhaps it just needs to settle in a bit? Also, it is my understanding that watches tend to run fast as the mainspring is nearer to the end;...

The real question is..

Why did you buy a Rolex? If it was to own a Rolex who cares about 3.5 seconds a day...if it was to own a consistent timepiece there are other brands in the category that have IMO better movements.
Ok😀...

I realize there are people who demand complete accuracy and that's fine.
By: Blansky : June 11th, 2020-07:40
It's just too bad that every time you look at your beautiful watch you are disappointed. That's my point. Due to a couple of seconds a day, you lost your love of your watch. For me it's never an issue partly because I change watches every 4 days. So it's ...
I share your point regarding accuracy!

As I previously shared my parallel, if John Harrison was able to make in 1761 a marine chronometer that run at 1s/month, with today’s technology we should at least match that. So The Batman is my all time favorite of all watches that I ever handled in my ...

... bought brand new last year has never run the advertized \-2 secs per day. It has always consistently been at 3.5 secs per day. Which is not bad in my book, but not at the advertized level. I think this is mostly marketing, to be honest.

had a Rolex or a Patek Philippe keep consistent time within the rates that they claim are to be expected. I love my Rolex and Patek Philippe timepieces, but at their best they keep “good “ time. Nothing within the claim in the advertising.
Rolex are the marketing kings.

For whatever reason, my precious sub-no-date ran plus 0.5s/day for 4-5 years, until I was forced to sell it 😔
Get the tools and regulate yourself!
By: roundel : June 11th, 2020-11:11
Regulating watches is not rocket science usually. I have only cracked open a few of my watches to make adjustments, but it is frequently fun and rewarding. My 5002 Big Pilot was a great success that I got down to a fraction of a second a day through trial...
That is the spirit!
By: Lankysudanese : June 11th, 2020-11:50
BTW: what kind of apps listen to watches tick to calculate the rate?
Hairspring
By: roundel : June 11th, 2020-11:55
I use Hairspring. It uses my iphones speaker. There needs to be very little ambient noise, but it is a fun app.
