Those of you who also visit other topics on the MB, are likely as baffled as I am about people that fuss over watches that vary seconds in a day, sometimes a bit slow, and sometimes a bit fast. I’m wearing a 30-year old Rolex Date-Just today, that consistently loses about 13 to 15 seconds per
month! I am confident I could adjust it to do better, but when does fussiness turn into OCD? For the last ten days (or so), I have been wearing a watch I have shown here, before. The subject watch is my 110 to 115-year old. Keystone Howard, (series 4 or series 9, depending on where I check). This watch was never railroad approved, and in the 25 years that I have owned it, it has never kept better time than it has since I last serviced it. It is averaging + 3 to 4 seconds per day. I’m quite tickled with that! It might be that there are
magical properties in the
@DaveK lanyard that is on it. I’d never worn the watch on that lanyard, before.
