Have to agree cannot under stand why many today worry and fret over a few seconds, thank god my life was never ran to the exact second. I have been wearing Rolex watches for well over 50 years, but must admit never been anal about checking to the exact second. I check mine once a week or longer if more than a minute out might adjust.
