Interesting result today from last night around midnight it took 9 hours to be 11 seconds slow, around noon it was 12 seconds slow for the day and now at Midnight a full 24 hours has passed and it's 13 seconds slow.

I wound it 40 times when I put it on wrist yesterday afternoon and wore it for 6-8 hours or so until midnight when I reset it to see how it would do in 24 hours. I don't know what to think of the fact that it only slowed down 2 more seconds in the last 15 hours while the first 9 is slowed 11 seconds.

I'm crossing my fingers it stays stable and doesn't go crazy tomorrow. My hopeful theory is "breaking in" but since my only near new Rolex was my SubC LN which was -1 second/2wks then settled to about a second maybe a little less slow a week if I wore it 24/7.

I wouldn't expect RSC to "service" it per say just service it by regulating it and demagnetizing it along with pressure test.
