Hi All new here...
Hello all, i am new to this forum, but have had Rolexs all my life, my current watch is a SS Sub.... I did a google search due to the fact that I just demagnitized mine at my local jewler, had a bit of fast running, about 45 seconds per 24 hrs..... and now we wait and see..... the fast running did coincide with me standing next to a lage magnet about 3 weeks ago.... -Andy

Well, the Demagnetizer worked out perfectly, some people belive that magatisim will advance your time by hours per day and not minuets, well a mild case of magatisim will advavce by 45 sec per day as I found out, and now I am back to the same time as time.gov, my server at work and my Jungas clock....... so all in all....... get your watch Demagnetized......
