Rolex Oyster-- You must be joking My father gave me mine in 1973. He bought several from Bravingtons, by Kings Cross, that year to give to some staff at Xmas as a thankyou. I still have the instruction manual. 30 years ago I went to buy a new strap & the Rolex dealer in Burlington arcade wanted £ 325. I declined
Mine went back for cleaning & re timing a number of times at great expense & still never kept time. Currently several minutes a day inaccurate. Just like a very expensive Omega my mother bought my father about the same time. It was so bad he only wore it a few times.

Surely there are no more than 2 ways of ascertaning correct time.
One involves three or more chronometers ($$$$$$$)
The other uses electronics. Either GPS (I can see the argument that this is cheating) but otherwise a decent Sony etc. Short Wave reciever tuned into one of the many international time signals available.

You either take it with you and trust it doesn't migrate or you or you access it en-route and know it is accurate. Are ther any other alternatives? I can think of none, and I certainly know which I prefer.
