What is acceptable accuracy?
My Bond LE is now 3-4 weeks old and I just started monitoring it. It has the new co-axial movement.It is running +4 to +5 seconds. It gained 23 seconds in 6 days. I know that there is a break-in period for new watches. What is the typical break-in period, and what is a reasonable (acceptablel) plus or minus for accuracy? I'm not a stickler, but want it to be within acceptable limits. Thanks to all,Barry

Any suggestions for an inexpensive watch case?
I don't need fancy, cheap/fake wood is fine, leather is fine, I just need it to hold 6 watches and sit on my night table. A display window would be nice, but also not necessary.So far the best I've come up with is something in the $30-40 range at Amazon. Are there other comparable or even less expensive options elsewhere?Thanks in advance!

Resetting date etc. on a grand complication
Having recently become the proud owner of a grand complication (5140G), I left it behind on a recent 7 day multi-stop trip, as I did not want it to be bashed around at multiple airport security checkpoints and also constantly to be worrying about its general welfare. I am sure that this excess of caution will pass with time and use ...As the run up to my departure proved more chaotic than I had hoped, I did not have time to figure out how to put the watch on its automatic winder for the first time. Hence the question: Does it make any difference if I just wind the watch forward a week, rather than re-setting it with the setting tool (with attendant risk of scratching whilst I am inexperienced in its use) ?As a matter of good practice, does it make any difference which way one advances the watch, if it were to be done on a regular basis ?

TT blue faced Sub (16613) bracelet question.
I just bought a made in 1999 (A-Serial) 16613 blue faced sub. It has a SWISS dial and a TT bracelet, but doesn't have the gold through the clasp. For those of you that own a similar model, does it bother you that the gold does not go through the clasp? Have you considered getting an upgraded bracelet?This one appears to contain evidence that it was serviced by Rolex in 2015 and that paperwork helped me make the decision on this watch compared to paying about $300 more for one made a year later that had the gold through the clasp. I suppose the version I am getting may not scratch as easily as a gold through clasp model bracelet while I'm typing. I dunno. Maybe I should just order another one so I'll have one of each? The watch is currently incoming and I'll post pics when it arrives. Hopefully that will be by the end of the week.
