Rolex is king ? By what testing and engineering

standards has someone come up with that? Since I need to get to the commissary I'll make this short. At the moment I have three watches of different manufacturers that I am both wearing and maintaining time on watch winders. The three favorites, why, I bought them, are the Rolex Submariner non-date ref 14060M COSC certified ( ca 3130 ); my Omega US Special edition( ca 3303 ) 1000 ft and one of my Tutimas with the ca 5100, the Yachting model. Now all of these uses very different movements. Particularly the ca Lemania 5100 chrono. In my unscientific testing between all three the results are surprisingly similar. All have a + 1.57 Rolex, a + 1.43 Omega, while the venerable ca 5100 does + 1.3. Is there anyone in their right mind who would argue with such mechanical perfection? Now out to the base for food.
