No, it is made of $21,000.

and it is still only accurate to -2 to +4 seconds, per day! For that money I want an atomic clock!

You can get one for about $100.
A watch that synchronises itself to the radio signal broadcast by the various atomic clocks of the world.
A small desktop version can be had for under $30.

...and every time you look at it, you think "It's 14:32, and I could have bought a Rolex instead"...

I can't say I find Rolex watch beautiful.

I was put of them by my first boss, who for many months use to always show his rolex[^] off in many ways that you could think.
and as it was one of these Jewelled watches as I see is show off jewelery and nothing else

Yes, that is the poncey version that only a girlie-man would wear. 
|

|
|
Totally agree! 
|
|

But with a Rolex people know you have more money than sense. They won't with a Seiko.

I did.
About 20 years ago I won £1,500 and so bought myself a Rolex Oyster Date. Apart from the times its been serviced I've worn it every day since and only take it off if I'm doing particularly mucky work such as working on the old car.

It's the servicing cost that's the killer!
What is it now, about £400 every three years?
I know they raised the price from £250 a few years back.

My last service was a few years back and cost £300. I've had it serviced twice so far, maybe get another one in a few years. Every 3-4 years is too much.

Accuracy: -2 to +4 seconds per day (under static conditions)
That is pathetic.

It seems most watches have that kind of accuracy. (I've googled Rolex and Tag Heuer which seems to be the top watches for Chronometers certified watches)

But for 20k you'd expect some sorta nuclear atomic reactor for it to be super accurate. And of course, also have a utility knife, spare wife, and Tabasco sauce backup compartment.

I would. The one I have needs an assistant/trainee.

It's also close to the physical limits for a clock that size, I'm told. I fail to find a reference at the moment.
