: Hi all!!!
: I have an interesting story about my new SMP.
: Well, It's more than a month now. Month and
: two weeks to be exact.
: First thing I did when I came home was to
: synchronize with my atomic clock. For 2-3
: weeks watch was gaining 2-3 sec and loosing
: 2-3 sec in a period of 4-5 days. So From the
: beginning it was pretty much in COSC range
: and somehow it was really close to my atomic
: for a weeks. The best part was that it could
: loose 2-3 sec in a 4-5 days, and then it
: could gain it in one day, so it was dead on
: atomic!!! After some period of time I
: realized more changes in the watch.
: Difference went up to 15seconds in 24hrs. I
: was shocked!!! Couldn't believe that my
: OMEGA can do it! And when the difference
: became one minute and 5 second I was really
: down!!! I didn't even wanted to look at
: atomic next day to check on what's going
: on...BUT....SUDDENLY....I thought, why my
: OMEGA is that wrong??? My trust to my
: seamaster just didn't worked with the idea
: that it's wrong!!! What did I do next? I
: bought a new atomic clock! It may look
: strange, but my trust to my OMEGA was more
: than that so I decided that I will measure
: with another atomic clock! AND WHAT
: HAPPENED? My OMEGA IS DEADLY RIGHT, SECOND
: TO SECOND WITH MY NEW ATOMIC!!!! I was so
: happy!!! I can't explane the hapinness of
: this fact, so I wanted to share with you
: guys!!! I'm sure there are a lot of OMEGA
: fans who will like this story and will
: understand my hapinness!!! Now I'm looking
: and checking syncronization of the atomic
: clock. Last time I syncronized was on NOV
: 11th. Today is NOV 24th. My Omega is one
: second behind from atomic for this period of
: time!!! 13days one second change!!! I think
: is fantastic!!! So this is my story on how
: OMEGA beats atomic clock!!! Sorry it's so
: long, I hope you like it!!!! Happy
: Thanksgiving !!!!!!
Nice story. I will probably get attacked like poor Georges was by Equilibrium 101 , but I just got a watch winder , an atomic clock and had my 1985 Rolex Datejust serviced by Rolex NYC. On the winder, the Rolex has kept perfect time with the atomic clock for a month. I had not had it serviced in over 20 years. Over those twenty years I never noticed a problem with it. It was just winding down too much of the long weekends. Rolex takes three weeks to recalibrate it and replace the parts. They make sure it is up to specs for all the money you spend. Their service center feels more like a corporate office than a place to get your watch fixed.
So far there has not been one second of variation. I have them both side by side. That may be due to the winder which is precisely set for the Rolex. Or it may be , as Georges says, that Rolex makes great watch movements.
I am buying an Omega to save the wear and tear on my DJ. And to have a sportier look. Looking at the SMP and the AT. Hardest choice: blue dial like my DJ or a black dial for a change of pace.
