: I had similar thoughts until I read the segment
: of this forum on accuracy.
: If your expecting 100% accuracy, then a
: mechanical watch is going to drive you
: crazy. I have come to consider the slight
: deviations on my SMP as having it's own
: 'personality'. I regulate the fluctuations
: by placing it in different positions on the
: bedstand at night. It stays pretty much on
: the money using that method, but you have to
: find the right position for your specific
: timepiece.
: If this bothers you then you may be happier
: with a quartz.
: For me, I can live with it because I really
: like the 'sweep' hand action and the fact I
: can hear it ticking away like a real watch.
: Just my .04 cents (adjusted for inflation)
: The best Seamaster chrono's hold +- 1sec/day.Most typically +6-4 secs /day. I never saw the sense in paying $1900 for a timepiece with this accuracy, unless you are a mechanical afficionado. I have a 2541. Quartz which markets for $1300 is identical apart from the quartz movement and holds +0-3secs/month, which i feel is the best option if you want accuracy, quite apart from the saving on servicing costs
