The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I never would have believed it if I didn't witness it myself. I started timing my newly acquired Sub about 10 days ago. I've been checking it daily and it's still accurate to the second. That's right. It hasn't gained or lost 1 second in the last 10 days. Amazing!!

No matter what time it is when I check, it's dead on. I've been wearing it every day during waking hours and off during sleep. There's no particular way I put it down. It's usually on it's side -- crown up or down depending on how I'm holding it after I take it off -- it's random.


All my other watches are within COSC standards, usually gaining a couple of seconds a day. I never expected the sub to be so accurate and it's very rare that I time my watches -- now I just want to see how long this will last. Oh well, I guess I have to keep on wearing it.

The Rolexes I've had, and the one I still have, tend to be better regulated when they get to me than other brands. But, I've had some Breitlings that ran spot on as well. Rolex must be a bit more anal about QC.

hey....theyre rolex!

in all seriousness i hope theyre SUPER anal about QC. just means we are getting the best of what they can offer.

No doubt... indeed they are pretty accurate to say the least considering they're mechanical watches...

I didn't know they could be SO accurate

That is superb accuracy. On a par with SuperQuartz.

My Sub C gains about three seconds a week and I am very happy with that.

That's very interesting and nice to hear, I had no idea a mechanical watch could be that accurate. Gad you like it

This seems to be a common story.

My Sub C (last set on 2 October when daylight saving time kicked in here) has lost only 20 seconds in more than 5 weeks.

It seems to be even more accurate when I wear it every day rather than leaving it on the winder.
