In Response To: Re: Accuracy: Omega vs. Rolex--again... ()

My Rolex and Omegas are both within 5 seconds a day.

: I've bought and still own two out of the box
: Omega's and bought and returned a new Rolex
: GMT last year. I've looked at 60 to 100
: Rolexes on others wrists and can't remember
: one time when they weren't fast by 5 or more
: minutes. The 2 dozen or so conversations
: I've had with Rolex owners have yeilded a
: 100 percent response that their Rolex gain
: "several minutes plus every month"
: which is more than the COSC 6 seconds per
: day.

: My new Rolex gained 12 to 20 seconds a day!

: Both of my Omegas kept time under .2 of a
: second per day for the first year! I wear my
: watches 24/7 and have them in a winder when
: not wearing them.

: That said, making a few trips to your watch
: maker can bring either brand to within 2
: seconds a day. Omegas are just much more
: accurate out of the box.
