You'll hit that +/-20 seconds easily. I am fascinated by that level of accuracy. I check my GS at the changes from Daylight Savings to Standard time - on this last change, which is over five months, I saw a two (or three) second error. It is hard to be more precise than that with just a second hand to go by. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

Then you should build youself a GPS clock using your computer's built-in oscillator. It is not hard. Microsecond accuracy is easy, with a standard motherboard. Upgrade the crystal, and you can achieve nanosecond accuracy. Windows OS is only capable of about 1ms accuracy. You need a unix variant to get the nanosecond level. | |||

Can you point me to a good thumbnail sketch about this? Thanks. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

If you are good with old fashioned newsgroups, you can subscribe your rss reader to comp.protocols.time.ntp, which is the old newsgroup, supported by David L. Mills, the author/creator of NTP (since 1970). More recently, you might want to consider a more recent incarnation, like a Google group called https://groups.google.com/foru....protocols.time.ntp, They share the same info. With a unix system, a bit of understanding of unix, and a GPS receiver it is ridiculously easy to create your own atomic clock. | |||

A plain old Orange Monster. This is the version just before the one they sell now. This is the one with the movement that hacks and can be wound by hand. A great watch, especially in light of the price. Decent accuracy, very usable waterproofness, and amazing lume. I got this one for under $200 on an Amazon special, but they are $300 all day long.

Very nice. I have a 1st Gen. Orange Monster that gets more wrist time than all of my other watches combined...accurate, versatile, and I love the color. As I'm sure you know, the shark-style face of the 2nd Gen. above gave way to the current 3rd Gen, which harkens back largely to the 1st Gen. face (with a few small differences (i.e. loss of the small marker digits, loss of day indicator, and inclusion of a date cyclops)..but the new pricing of the 3rd Gen. w/ the new upgrade movement sure does away with the budget-minded appeal of the first couple of generations. A Monster for $500'ish just seems wrong. If the folks/rumors on WUS are to be believed, apparently the Monster line is going away. A couple months ago I picked up a Seiko SRP637, alternately called a Baby Tuna and a Tuna Monster, as it has the 1st Gen. Black Monster look in a stainless shroud. Love that watch. | |||

I do like the dial of the 3d generation Monster (although I am not a fan of a cyclops). But I also like the shark tooth markers, and I wasn't going to buy a 3d gen when I have one already. Especially not when the new is $500. It is a better movement, but part of the charm was the low price/high function ratio. The fish is mute, expressionless.

Nice, Shnea. I like that dial color. Which size is that one? The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

Thanks, guys! That's the Datejust II, so it's a 41mm. I've wanted a blue dial for a while now, and I love the Datejust line, so I didn't need much more convincing than the discount the dealer offered since this model is being phased out in favor of the "Datejust 41." -ShneaSIG Oh, by the way, which one's "Pink?" | |||

Beautiful Sinn and Rolex. I used to have a Gen I black Monster as well. I have this incoming ( the one on the left) Florijn, a Dutch micro. PVD with a very unique dial and indices structure.
