So, I’ve been messing around with my Rolex for a while now, trying to figure out just how accurate this thing really is. I mean, they say these watches are super precise, but I wanted to see for myself.

I started by setting the time on my Rolex exactly to the atomic clock online. You know, just to make sure I had a really accurate starting point. Then, I just wore the watch like I normally do. I didn’t baby it or anything, it went through my everyday routine with me.
For the first few days, I checked the time against the atomic clock every morning. I was pretty surprised, the watch was only off by like a second or two. That’s crazy accurate for a mechanical watch! I kept this up for a couple of weeks, checking every few days. Most of the time it was within that plus or minus two seconds range.
Then, I started wearing it less, just to see what would happen. It stayed just as accurate even when it was just sitting in my watch box. That’s the movement inside, the caliber 3235, working.
Honestly, I was really impressed. This whole experiment just confirmed what I had heard about Rolexes. They really are incredibly accurate. And the best part is, I didn’t have to do anything special to keep it that way. It just stays accurate on its own, day in and day out. And I think that I can use it for months even years.
Here’s what I did:

- Set my Rolex to the exact time using an online atomic clock.
- Wore the watch daily, checking the time against the atomic clock every morning.
- Continued this for a few weeks, observing the accuracy.
- Tested the watch’s accuracy even when not worn regularly.
Conclusion
My Rolex lived up to its reputation. It stayed accurate to within a couple of seconds a day, even when I wasn’t wearing it every day. Pretty amazing, right?
