    Hi members of the IWC Community,
    I just finished collecting 30 days' worth of data (out of curiosity) regarding the accuracy of my IWC Mark XVII (ref. 3265-04). On Feb 4, I set my watch to the official atomic clock and every day thereafter, I recorded how many seconds it was faster than that time source. I wore the watch on my wrist for the majority of the day and it always sat crown down on the nightstand. The mean rate was +0.903 seconds/day and the standard deviation was 0.405 seconds/day. What do you think of its accuracy? Has any one of you done analysis like this for your watches? If so, please let me know of your results as I am eager to compare. How does this compare to your IWC's and/or watches in general?
    TL;DR: My IWC gains on average 0.903 seconds/day.

    Amazing for a mechanical watch. Not all watches are that accurate. My CFI is about that accurate. Some others have more gain.
