I have a 1991 vintage Rolex GMT-II that I wear daily and it stays within about 2.4 sec/day fast averaged over a 2 week period. I had a local watchmaker mess with it to get it that close, which considering a mechanical movement and variations in temperature, barometric pressure, differing orientation and so on is pretty good.
But my real time-nut piece is a 1978 vintage gold Rolex Submariner that I inherited from my father. That thing is a total fluke and keeps almost perfect time: it will still be within 1 second of my 5065A after 30+ days. It really needs to be serviced as the seals have started to leak and the face is discoloring around the edges - I'm scared to even wear it in the shower anymore, but I REALLY don't want the timing messed with. It'll never be it that close again. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
