The date changes about 5 minutes before midnight every night.
I purchased the watch pre-owned from a non-Rolex dealer on Jan. 19, 2020.
The watch was last serviced in Sept. 2019 from Swiss Crown USA and is still under warranty until 1/2023. (Paid $600 for warranty) Covers (3135) movement, case , crystal , bracelet, crown, bezel etc...
I love this watch and even though I bought it pre-owned it still looks bran , spankin new. The jubilee bracelet is in perfect condition with no stretch or marks.
Would love for this watch to run within COSC specs or +/- 2 seconds per day.
Should I take it to a Rolex dealer for service?
Or Take it back to Swiss Crown USA for FREE SERVICE?
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
I’ve never heard of Swiss Crown USA.

If it is only +7 seconds per day please do nothing for now. My Sub C is +2 or +3 seconds per day which is within specs, and I do not really care because I wear it max 1 day in a week or sometimes even less often:)
If you keep the watch for 2 more years, towards end of that 2 years warranty period you still can go to the RSC (not to AD) and get the issue fixed for free from warranty if it annoys you. No need to rush and take risks. Considering the experiences of people on forum with ADs services, you might have new problems which you did not have before.
