jimmytim Posted April 25, 2006 Report Posted April 25, 2006 Hello boys and girls, I have a question for you all. Seeing most of the watches we get is automatic, and not properly regulated in the first place, if your watch arrive and you find that it runs +5 / +10 / +15 or -5 / -10 / -15 a day, does it bug you like a bee?
SubFrog Posted April 25, 2006 Report Posted April 25, 2006 I've never noticed. AND, never thought about it until a buddy of mine got one and complained that his was 1 or 2 secods off. I thought he was kidding, but somehow it bothered him. So...no, doesn't bother me. And I still don't notice.
gpuck Posted April 25, 2006 Report Posted April 25, 2006 I could care less about a few minutes. The thing that bugs me is when the date is off a day in some months! Gpuck
watcher71 Posted April 25, 2006 Report Posted April 25, 2006 By a genuine if it bothers you that much and a geunine is any better, or, as stated above, buy a quartz. I have 20+ automatics and no winders. So I reset my watches almost every time I rotate (which is daily) and I just dont care if my watch gains or loses a few minutes a day. Maybe I would care if I was in a job that required by the second time keeping, but I am not...so it's all good.
DarthSimon Posted April 25, 2006 Report Posted April 25, 2006 Gens run slow and fast too... My gen Daytona runs about 30 seconds fast per every 10 days...... Price of doing business with mechanical movements... Cell phones keep good time if you need up to the second time
cwai02 Posted April 25, 2006 Report Posted April 25, 2006 well, even 2 of my omega genuines run +/- 5-10 seconds, I would accept a rep to run +/- 5-25 seconds.
