Unless those have been upgradedwith a much better than typical oscillator,
{At least a OCXO, if not derived from a rubidium or cesium frequency source};
they are going to drift away from UTC in a short amount of time;
{A GPS with PPS, or internet time sources available to A / B would cure that}.

Don't do that.

Don't do that.

Yes, they have no common reference, so they drifted away from each other;
(and likely normal / typical / consumer / business PC crystals / oscillators).
