I wonder this because, I changed the date at the beginning of May and at the same time I set the time. For a few days I was losing and gaining about 10 seconds, now it has kept at 4 seconds behind for a while.

I use this: The official U.S. time - clock

Official atomic clock time!

I think so, probably, as everything settles down and it starts moving nicely again. Temperature and movement does affect watches and their accuracy.

You do realise any 'Official' time is from Greenwich. Any other time is just GMT plus or minus several hours.

Especially as there is PMT & EST, you cannot have 2 official times!

Picky picky.

Mine is like that, except the colors on the face are reversed, it's a Bernoulli Mosaic and supposedly retails for $3k, but my dad got it off of uBid for $50, so I don't really believe that. Either way it's my first automatic watch and I love it to death

The only thing better than a great watch is a great watch given to you by your dad. Congrats fella and glad you feel that way.

No clue what you're talking about.

Haha. I didn't say father!

So as to not spam this thread, I received a watch as a graduation present.

It is impossible to find the thing online, though. Here is the same model, but my watch has an orange second hand/tick marks and a leather band with orange stitching. Clicketh

It is funky, but I like it. The watch face is huge, which is fine with me.

I bought an Omega Speedmaster for myself as a graduation present last year. I like the strong look of the Hamilton and Fortis models that people have posted recently. I'd like to get my next watch sometime soon. Not sure if I want to go more or less expensive though.

Very stylish, GSurge. I also got a seiko chronograph when I graduated from high school, but it's gotten a deep, major scratch across the face and I don't even know how it happened

.

I'd really like to get a sapphire crystal for it!

Here's my new watch.

My Grandad found a solid gold wind-up Rolex in the 30s, he gave it to Police, but no one claimed it, so he got it.

I got four nice watches I rotate wearing. Panerai 111, Glashutte Navigator, Bell and Ross BR01-96 and Chopard Mille Miglia Black Face XL (the last from my father for my birthday). Pics to follow.
