Incredible accuracy

I set my new SDC4000 on 8th of April. Since then, it has lost 2 seconds. That's 2 seconds in 18 days!

This is my ninth Rolex and I've never experienced timekeeping like this. I'm used to +4-6 seconds per day.

Am I lucky or is this the norm with the new models?

No matter the movement or the brand its only as good as what it's been regulated too.

The 2 brand new models Submariner 116613LB I had for last year and this year have basically been running like a Quartz Watch. The one I have right now have been +1 in 16 Days for me since I got it!

Polar Explorer II 216570 = +15 secs since March 1. That's a little over +1/4 sec/day.

I set the time on 3/8 during DTS on my 16610LV and it's been spot on since. I alternate face up/down every other night.
