Please advice…
I have a GMT CHRO from 2018. Mint condition. The Watch is running around 7 sec slow. My dealer has offered to replace it for something else, or fix it under waranty. (The Rolex waranty isn’t valid anymore). I love the GMT.
Should I 1. Let him fix the watch. The risk is that they don’t find/fix the real problem, but instead do a Quick fix (problem back in a year or so) 2. Change it for a newer watch, for example a 2024 black/gray GMT or the jubilee 2 tone/similar 3. Take a SUB or something instead (mor relaible movement)… What would you do? |

If you like it then why would you think about anything else other than a service

Maybe all it needs is a simple regulation

I agree with everyone else saying get it serviced by Rolex.

Given you "love the GMT" I agree with the suggestion to get it serviced by Rolex themselves, especially if the slow timekeeping is potentially related to fundamental issues with the 32xx movements. They're probably best equipped for this kind of thing.
And the 126711CHNR is a beautiful GMT. Good luck! |

You say you love it so get it regulated. That’s a very special watch that haunts me as I passed on one at the peak of the craziness. I wanted a Pepsi but was offered a CHRO GMT so I said no. The dealer said, no one says no to a GMT but you’ve turned down two hard to get watches. I explain I’m a former trader and you have to be able to walk away if it not the right item, price or timing. I’ve done all three to a Rolex AD. A different AD finally did offer me a Pepsi but the CHRO root beer still hunts me as the one I let slip away. Your watch is six years old have it serviced by an authorized Rolex trained watchmaker. The grey ghosts GMT is a beautiful watch in its own way but not a replacement for the CHRO. I’d like to have both those other GMT watches too but would never consider trading a watch I love so much for one. Because the GMT function is so helpful I’m looking to ad more to my collection. I like the Submariner also, I wore one every day for 30 years as my only watch until I got a nice note back from Rolex service saying, “Due to the age of your watch if you abuse it again like you have we won’t be able to fix it due to it’s age and scarcity of parts for your model. You do know we still make watches and you should consider buying a new one with readily available parts.” It took me all of two months to smash the new YM I bought as my new daily. Rolex fixed it and again sent a nice note back, “We’re sorry you broke your new watch, this repair is on us but if it happens again it’s on you.” I’d have a certified Rolex watch maker take a shot at regulating it, if it still doesn’t perform to your expectations have Rolex do a service but skip the polishing as it buffs your memories away. Good Luck!
