crystalcranium Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 OCD alert!!!! Can't put on a fresh new watch for the day without hacking it to www.time.gov. The fact that it's off by 5 seconds or so by the end of the day doesn't bother me but I've got to hack it at 5:30 am or I'm not comfortable with it. Zoloft, lithium, Paxil........Maybe I should look into it. I was just wondering if this is common among collectors or is a time obsession different from a watch obsession?

Pugwash Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 My laptop syncs with real time, so if I have the time, I'll hack my watch to the right time. I recently set the clock to show seconds on the menubar just for this reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 My 003B keeps perfect time +/- 1 sec for weeks so it was hard to put it right in the first time (not hackable) but now it is the watch I look to set my other two Pams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrgod Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 I just look at the kitchen clock, and set them roughly to the same time. Even though I am a watch nut, I am not obsessed with presicion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chubbchubb Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 I have a couple of quartz clocks around the house that sync with real time.... so I always set my watches (rep or gen) prior to wearing them... I used to be pretty anal about the prescision of my watches.... I guess I'm getting older and wiser.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
