Swiss Watch Exports Decline Again, Reaching 2006 Level
The Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry has released Swiss watch export figures for September, 2009, and the downward trend continues. The value of Swiss watch exports fell by 26.1% to 1.1 billion francs. Overall exports are down 25.9% for the first 3 quarters of 2009. Swiss watch exports have now retreated to their 2006 level. Watches manufactured from precious metals suffered the steepest declines in value terms in September, while the downturn was less severe for bimetallic timepieces. The number of timepieces exported suffered particularly badly, falling by nearly a million units in one month. Steel and the category of other materials had a markedly negative effect on results. Since the beginning of the year, exports have registered a shortfall of 5.1 million watches.For wristwatches costing less than 200 francs (export price), the number of pieces exported fell by half in September, generating a deficit of 890,000 units. The 200-500 franc segment performed much better, register

Decided to check accuracy
I have now owned my first Rolex, a 114200 Air King, for 10 years. It is probably the closest watch I have to being a daily wear because of it's size and comfort.I decided yesterday to check the accuracy against the NIST atomic clock online. Being that it has a hacking second hand this was easy to do. The results: the watch gained approximately 6 seconds in 24 hours. I was going to reset it but today I head out of the country for 8 days so I am going to leave it alone and re-test when I get home.Does this seem about normal considering the age and it has never been serviced?
