My Trident 300 Pro has the elabore movement. Wearing during the day and taking off at night, it will stay within a few seconds a week. If I leave it off for a day or so, it will normally lose 8-12 seconds, but will catch back up some when worn again.

---

Welp, I'm going to be the dumbass that asks this question. I don't know watches to the level of detail as the rest of this board thus my question.

I have wine and am prepared to feel stupid.

How does a mechanical watch know to catch up if it's not tied back to some other source like a digital watch?

---

The watch mechanically falls behind by 8-12 seconds per day if it's not worn but it will get ahead by a few seconds per day when it's being worn (and moved around).

So it runs slow when not being moved and runs fast when it's being moved.

---

So if you wear it a lot then it's always going to be too fast and you are living in the future.

---

How much wine have you had.

---

Half a bottle in.

Critique my logic though.

I'm ready for the abuse.

Maybe it's the half bottle I've had….but I'm following you completely….

It took me a minute to appreciate Farmer's completely blunt statements and thoughts on watches. This is the "high end and luxury watch" forum so technically I can't fault him for calling certain watch brands trash. He's just doing his thing.

I'm sure he's as sweet as a Georgia peach in real life.

---

Except what he says doesn't line up with the world's opinion of high end and craps on anything not "ultra luxury "

---

No Jacob & Co??? What kind of crappy list is this?

---

Above the "ultra luxury" category dwells a maker in a category of its own.
The maker?
Jacob & co.
The category?
"Wrist sex"

Anybody need a bronze watch?

This one's totally unworn, full kit, so that patina is going to be all yours. And at $2,900, that's cheaper than I can find any USED models online.
