What time do you wear?


What watch, if any, graces your wrist? Does time matter? You know: time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana. Either way.

Wow Jmo, what an awesome collection! One could retire on that collection. :)

While I don't have near the experience as you, I must take exception to the statement, "Lastly for the record Rolex keep the worst time..."
Clearly you own the brand so you have experience, but I find this untrue for several (good) reasons. First, I too have experience with the brand and have found them to do a stellar job; Second, I have spent a fair amount of time on TimeZone.com, too much in fact, and the track record of the MANY people on those forums differs with your view; Third, while I have not read a lot of reviews in watch magazines, the few I have read have always given Rolex high marks in this area.

Again, awesome collection, I'd love to see a picture of all them in one shot.
Brianmgrarcom,

Thank you. Don't get me wrong I'm still a big fan of Rolex their new Oyster Perpetual Milgauss is off the chain... They do in fact tend to lose a few minutes but that never stopped me from purchasing one... Rolex is a awesome watch.
Hey Jmo,

I tried on a white faced Milguass, it was very nice but not really for me; I like the tinted green crystal version the best. As for losing minutes, again, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree, I have not experienced this nor others I know.

Enough of that. I don't recall seeing an IWC in your list, have you owned any? I haven't had the pleasure to view one in person, but I have looked at a lot of pictures, they look quite nice.
Brianmgrarcom,

I never owned an IWC but I have always like them... I came very close to purchasing a IWC DaVinci Perpetual Calendar but i was unable to see the day date and year. Very nice watch. I wish my eyes were better. :O)
Rolex watches, being self-winding mechanisms, must be adjusted to the user's regular movement patterns.
This is done from within the watch (by the Rolex Service guy) after the user has kept a week-long diary of daily time loss/gain.
I've had my Submariner for 20 years now and can get it accurate to +1 or +2 seconds per day.
If you don't wear your Rolex constantly but keep it on an automated moving machine, it can never be accurate for both you and the machine.
A Rolex should NEVER run slow as this will spiral into inaccuracy....rather it should always be set to run 1 or 2 seconds fast per day.
