The Real Reasons Watch Reviews Don't Talk (Much) About Accuracy
If you're curious about what accuracy actually is, and what it depends on, you may want to read our earlier story, "Accuracy: What Is It, And Does Anyone Actually Care?" JFWe've talked, now and again, about the subject of accuracy – what it is, what it means, how it's valued, and most recently, what it isn't as well. One question that always comes up when we raise the subject, however, is why you don't hear more about accuracy where you'd most expect to hear about it: in watch reviews. After all, car writers give you tons of performance information – why not watch writers? Why, therefore, don't watch reviews give you accuracy info in the same way that you get zero-to-sixty figures in a car review?

Submariner or Yachtmaster?

After getting my Datejust II 116300 and GMT Master Coke 16170, I am planning my next piece.I am really digging the look/features of the Yachtmaster (not the Yachtmaster II, as it's out of my price range), but I also crave the Submariner. I love the look of the YM1 (Silver on silver version, but the blue looks amazing too), polished center links, dressy or casual����. but also, how can anyone not love a good clean sub (date). The sub is obviously a must in anyones collection I feel, but just unsure which one to plan for. I plan on trying them both on, if I can find an AD that has them both. I bought my DJ2 brand new and obviously my GMT Coke used, but in amazing condition����..so I am more than likely going pre owned at this point.For those that have both��.which one do you prefer? Anyone else, please weight in!Thanks!
