Re: Setting correct time .. or trying to ....

: They did correct that problem. They installed a crown to reset the
: time with. ;-)

: It's a mechanical watch, it's never going to be as accurate as an
: atomic/digital/quartz watch. And frankly, unless you work for
: NASA (I'm sure they'll hook you up with someting if you need
: atomic time) you probably don't need your watch to be that
: accurate anyway.
I laughed out loud on the installed crown thingy, pretty damn funny.
I never saw anyone 3 seconds late for a meeting...................that being said, some are more anal about the watches
ability to keep accurate time than others. I'm not particularly anal about it myself, a minute or so a day is fine
and I sure wouldn't send one halfway round the world for a slight regulation.
I use one of those quartz, radio signal clocks that you can buy for a few bucks, they seen to work just fine.
