Shake my Rolex to gain seconds

Just for sharing and just in case you want to gain seconds:

I had a 214270 for about 5 months, I guess the movement already pretty run in or break in. However it always on the slow side, every time I timed it and it always a few seconds slow. And recently it was 4 seconds slow and it is already on the border line within COSC standard.

I always wanted my watch to be faster be it 2 to 4 seconds faster, I already lay my watch dial up (as per Rolex instruction to gain seconds) at night for the past 2 months and no improvement at all.

Frustrated and I stumbled upon this article which saved my watch:

I shake it as per instructed and within hours, my 214270 gained 2 seconds as compared to previous 4 seconds slow. I shake again before going to sleep and when I wake up the next morning it was running at +/- 1 seconds

At first I was thinking to send to RSC to regulate but never thought of shaking it will eventually saved my watch.
