San Martin vs Rolex

[Dave+63]

I put my Day Date on this morning, when setting it i was thinking how can anyone know if its two or three seconds out, no one can tell just by looking at it, my eyes aren't even good enough to see the faint second markers on the dial, so why does it matter, i cant remember the last time i set a watch precisely, its an indication of the time, there or there abouts is good enough.

why did i put that watch on this morning? because its pretty, attractive, nice looking.................one of them

Exactly this^^........Why do some get so obsessed with +/- whatever over 24 hours.
I wear a different watch everyday,sometimes a few throughout a day!......so the 1st watch can be out and Id never even know or have a care to check.

Nail on the head there.
Think I have only ever timed 1 watch ,a seadweller which was losing time after a service.
Doesn't interest me unless appreciably out.

A few seconds a day is fine but get into ten or twenty seconds per day and you can easily be out by a couple of minutes a week. Maybe that’s ok for most folk but my Seikos drive me crazy because I’m having to reset them so often.
