My wife has such a "super accurate" Quartz Seamaster. According to Omega, a Quartz may do -0.3/+0.4 per day, which my wife's watch makes full use of by gaining almost 3 seconds a week. This amounts to a whopping minute of gain between DST resets, and to add insult to injury, the watch has quick-set hours and wouldn't normally need to be hacked at all.
As per Omega's specification, this is how much you can expect from a Quartz watch. They have offered to have it checked in Bienne, though. I'll make use of this now as soon as I've found the time to accomodate my wife to a spare Automatic watch from me. :-)
However, what I'm trying to say is: Quartz isn't "super accurate", it's just less inaccurate than Automatic.
