Just about any electronic SEIKO is more
accurate than the old Rolex living in my socks drawer

IBM used to give us a Rolex for the Quarter century Club. Most of the
guys called them "bracelets" because they were pretty lousy at keeping
time.
By the time I was that long in the business we had a choice and I took
something else.

Mine lost a few minutes every month. I tried having it "adjusted" once
or twice, but it was still "off." It's a pretty watch, though, and even
new it was only a fraction of the price a new or used one fetches today.
I have no idea why anyone buys a new one...they're still pretty, but
just not that accurate...though I understand Rolex now makes electronic
watches.
