Ok you Geeks, if you are as anal as me you want all your automatics to be as accurate as your quartz pieces and are constantly checking/adjusting them against World Clocks websites. :D You know who you are!!! lol

Had my S.A. for about 6 weeks now, all on the wrist 24/7 (wonder why? :drool: ), with the second hand smoothly sweeping around that stunning blue dial, right! Set her to the World Clock every Friday and first 2 weeks picking up about +3 sec. @ day, which I thought was pretty damn good out-of the box, but as the watch settles down, it keeps on surprising me with its accuracy.

Here is a pic of her compared to the world clock after 6 days, " +0" No ***** !!! That Caliber 13 is just spot-on and I'm happier than Pig Poop. lol

Would love to hear from other S.A. or Ling owners on their babies as far as accuracy.

WELL DONE BREITLING :lingsrock:

My Breitlings (3) have been the most accurate automatic watches I've owned.

I have 4 super avengers and you are correct they all have great accuracy. I have not done a test as precise as you did, but I am impressed with all mine, when I am not wearing them they are all on the winder and always on the money.

Hi, had my SA for 4 weeks, So far I've worn it every day and take it off at night. First couple of weeks was running about +5 a day but the last week it's +3 a day. Not sure if this is because I lay it on its back now instead of on it's side.
Because I wear it all the time I haven't wound it since I bought it from the jewellers, not sure if this contributes to the reason it's not gaining as much time. Am well happy with it thus far.

I only have to adjust my breitlings a few times a year it seems. Can't remember the last time I had to wind my CA and it keeps great time, so do the other ones though they don't get as much wrist time.

The picture looks a second slow... :poke:

It's because it's still settling. All other factors being equal the watch will run faster on its back than crown up.

Hahaha Bro, God forbid if this baby is a second slow after 6 days, I guess I'll send her back. lol

The seconds dial at 9 o'clock seems spot-on and is the actual seconds hand. :yeahthat

Yes my Brother, that beautiful red-tipped second hand was made to smoothly sweep around the dial, not just be lonely at 12 o'clock. lol That's just me. :uplaugh:
