At this point I'm not buying experimental fly by night watch designs. I stick to Rolex and their designs suit my needs perfectly.
You understand that's simply a matter of regulating the watch, not some intrinsic flaw with any of the movements in the watches you mentioned, yes?

I'm willing to bet your experience with IWC and AP are not the norm compared to most when it comes to accuracy.



Just because a watch isn't COSC certified doesn't mean it isn't capable of being that accurate (or even more accurate), it simply means it wasn't tested by COSC. Most of the top tier watch marques don't bother with COSC certification, actually.
