bigger hands means losing time ?

This is probably way off base, but in my mind not totally out of the realm of possibility, so I just throw it up.
It seems to me, just based on casual observation, that a high percentage of GMT IIC owners are having their watch lose a little time each day.

My impression was that Rolex was one of those watchmakers who tend to err on the gaining time side. I know mine gains +3 ( thanks Rolex ).

Anyway, it causes me to wonder if the LV is losing time for a higher than normal number of people.
The reason I ask is that in my twisted mind, I am thinking that maybe, just maybe the larger sized hands take a minute amount more of energy to turn, and that the Rolex process of regulating has been honed for so long to a certain amount of friction/drag, that it's not compensating well enough in all instances.

Like I said, probably a total mess of mistakes in my thinking but I told you my mind can go to evil places.
