[QUOTE="JAJ, post: 16912068, member: 131874"] Does your Rolex run fast? I have a stainless Datejust that I bought new in 1991 that looks a lot like yours, and I stopped wearing it in 2017, after the second of two Rolex overhauls, because it dawned on me that it simply wasn't accurate enough. I'd picked up a $400 Citizen NIST watch to wear while I waited for the overhaul, and when I got the Rolex back, it was a shocking disappointment. With the Citizen, I was always exactly on time. The Rolex just wasn't as accurate. Now, over the years, three separate Rolex techs have told me that they calibrate them to gain about 3 seconds a day, so that "a Rolex owner never turns up late". Great. When minutes actually matter, sitting waiting when my watch is off by a minute is just not on. So, these days, I switch between three watches depending on what I'm doing. I have the titanium case Citizen NIST time signal watch, a titanium case Citizen GPS watch, and a new titanium case Apple Ultra watch. I know going into a meeting that I'm absolutely on-time, within a quarter second, always. It's amazing how much time it frees up when you know exactly what time it is. When I want to keep the older, mechanical watches working, I wear either the Rolex or a 1967 Tissot with an Omega stainless band that I wore for years before I got the Rolex. [/QUOTE]
