My Automatics and endless watch browsing

My 3 automatic watches are working very well. 
My green military has been keeping great time.  It looks like it is gaining less than 5 seconds a day now, after having it about 2 months. 
The Orange Bullet is still running a bit fast, about 15 to 20 seconds a day.  However, I have only had it less than a month, so I will see how it does over the next 30 days.
The blue 5 is really shocking me.  It is almost dead on right out of the box, less than 5 seconds a day as well.  I hope it keeps up the excellent time keeping.
Speaking of excellent time keeping, my Kinetic is still keeping unbelievable time.  Less than 0.5 seconds lost in 6 months!  Even for a quartz, this is pretty remarkable.  I wonder what accuracies other people have seen with their Seiko quartz watches?
The Timex still keeps excellent time as well, gains about 3 seconds a month. 

Made another trip to TJ.  Saw a nice Seiko 5 sports, orange faced watch.  Really sharp looking.  Even on the ‘low end’ Seikos, the rotating bezel feels much better than watches 20 times more expensive.  Also saw a few nice chronographs.  I really like the 1/5 second tick on some of the Seiko models.  Classic look and easy to read.

    my orange bullet consistently gains about 2-3 minutes a week. It only bugs me now because I let the watch sit for 2 years when I 1st got it. Now I cant take it off. It feels better than my Rolex GMT. If I had worn it right off the bat-I might have had it returned for service under warranty. But still-all in all-I still wear it almost everyday.

    My Orange Bullet is a great watch so far, and it does get a lot of wear. It has gotten better as the weeks have gone on, much like my military green 5. I have to agree, the Seiko Diver’s feel better than the Rolexes I have tried on.
