Mine is pretty on par with the specs.

My 29 year old Rolex Date-Just in short term wear shows an average loss of 3 to 4 seconds in 7 days. Unless I choose to wear it continually for 3 to 4 weeks, then it stabilizes to a 10 to 12 second loss in 3 to 4 weeks.

I set this when we changed to daylight savings, 105 days ago.

Yes.

I just finished resting my watch in 6 up position for 24 hours, it gains 0.4 spd.
How do you measure that? Quartz stop watch? Video frames of your watch and time standard?

This thread is not METAS certified.

Tolerance for drift is high. 😉

Not sure if joking... but have you done any research on METAS at all?

In-house Omega process that is not available to anything but new Omega watches.

Also not sure if you can take a joke...

Deep breath, it will all be OK.

.

Actually METAS testing is available to outsiders. Check out the metas.ch website. It probably wouldn't be cost effective but it is doable. Omega operates a METAS compliant site on premises and does their own testing, subject to spot checking anytime by METAS.

Hi.

I have the new Diver 300M with the 8800 caliber. Three months in I’m about +1 to +2 seconds a day.
Hmm, I'm at around +4s a day 6 weeks in. Did yours change over that time?
