Can I stop the sweeping second hand??? (5513)

[Merlin13]

Afternoon all

When I set the correct time on the watch I notice that the second hand continues to move no matter what position the crown is in. I've been told by a non Rolex Expert that the second hand doesn't stop!

Is that the case and if so how do you set the time to be to the second accurate if you cant get it to halt??? Its currently 24 seconds fast (or I guess I could make it 36 seconds slow by advancing the minute hand lol).

I know mine is 49 years old but is only gaining at a rate of 4 seconds a day which I think is pretty good?

Thanks all.
