I remember Rolex adverts "from back in the day".
I destinctly remember them stating that all their watches were COSC Chronometers and explaining what that meant in terms of accuracy.
Now I'm 41 but even then it was post quartz so people weren't buying Rolex watches for their absolute accuracy.
Personally, I have an Omega Speedmaster Professional that I've worn almost everyday since my 30th birthday. It's manual wind and keeps even worse time than any Chronometer but I love it and don't covert any other (smart)watch.

Owning a mechanical watch is ...odd, I guess. :)
