Re: Ask the experts time...
In Response To: Ask the experts time... ()

: I posted the following message on the Rolex
: forum but this is certainly applicable to
: Omega too. Any thoughts? This is not
: necessarily a question specific to Rolex,
: but since I'm here I'll ask. I have read
: many posts from folks complaining about the
: accuracy of their certified chronometer,
: gains 10 seconds, looses 12 etc, and the
: advice that is usually given, assuming it's
: a new watch, is to give it some
: "time" to break in or get settled
: or whatever it needs. If it needs this
: additional time to "break in",
: then how did it get this certified rating in
: the first place. If it was running within
: the acceptable specs. when it was tested,
: should it not be running the same way when
: the watch is purchased?
