A couple Miyotas and Seiko7s36's are at around +30 secs/day.
My least accurate ETA is a Daniel Mink Diver bought on clearance at TJ Maxx which is 20 secs fast/day. I can live with that for this watch.

My least accurate in my Omega Planet Ocean.... Sits about 7, maybe 8 seconds fast... Wilf, you can have the watch regulated if it bugs you. It isn't a big expense for any reputable watchmaker to regulate. I think it's like $50 or so, at least here. So if it gets on you (and 9 seconds would get to me too) you can have it rectified easily, assuming it just needs a regulation. I've been meaning to get the PO regulated, just haven't had a chance & the issue isn't sever enough for me to bump it to the top of the "to-do" list... |

@ Scott
Wouldn't the PO be covered under warranty sinc it's not running to COSC specs?

The least accurate watch is a cold war russian watch I own. It is about 3 minutes slow daily.

 well from what I've timed from my collection, the 2538.20 Great White Omega GMT is about + 3.75 sec a day and my Invicta 9210 seems to be +8 sec a day.. I'm sure like you're Daytona Wilfreb, they could be regualted to a closer tolerance, I'll just wait for service time for that. I love them just the same, they all have a unique personality. diver88 ;D

@ Scott Wouldn't the PO be covered under warranty sinc it's not running to COSC specs? I've been told maybe by NJ. IF the issue is due to an issue within the mechanicals of the watch (IE somethings broke), than yes. If not, no. I'll take it into Womble whenever I can get there & have him look at it, but I just haven't had the time.... I also want him to get me a sapphire caseback for it..  |

wilfreb, just curious, do you keep your Daytona on a winder when you're not wearing it?

Well, I think the dealer either just didn't have a watchmaker onsite, or he's not Rolex certified. There are dealers that will service Rolexes, especially a regulation. My local AD will do the work onsite without sending it in, but they have a Rolex certified watchmaker. Now there are certain parts Rolex won't sell to the dealers, so if the service requires those parts then it does have to go to Rolex. Next time you're in Miami, call around the dealers and ask if any have a watchmaker onsite that can regulate a Daytona. Keep in mind many of these work on so many pieces it won't be a 'while you wait' deal - it'll probably take a few days, so call them as soon as you get there so they can have it done before you leave.. I'll guarantee one of them can do it for you |
