The lift angles were set at 52° for the older two and at 53° for the newer two. The dates for each watch are those on the warranty card, aka the month they were purchased at an AD.
Each data point is a rounded average of 10 - 12 individual measurements.
These are the results:
What spurned me to buy a timegrapher and take these measurements is a previous post I made in this thread early last week. I wrote three short paragraphs about my experiences with my BLRO, how it has been performing lately and a comparison to my other Rolex watches.
That post was deleted for some reason. Instead of reposting the same thing and risk getting it deleted again, I figured I would get proof of my statements as well as actual measurements rather than just the ballpark estimates I had in my head.
I think it's pretty obvious that there's an issue with my BLRO. The question I now ask myself is, do I bring it in to the AD (which re-opened again today after being in lockdown) have them re-adjust/repair it, only to have the same issue possibly pop up again somewhere down the line? Or do I wait until Rolex maybe present a more long-term solution to this. |
Wait for a real solution rather than opening again and again.. - Try this, set it a minute fast, that will get you by for a while :) I have a 5513 that runs about 10 seconds fast a day. Granted, faster is better in my book but I'm not ready to send it off yet. I choose to set it a minute behind once a week.
And I'm pretty OCD...
