Regulating a Rolex

[Ruud Van Driver]

My BLNR is gaining nine seconds a day. Before someone comes along and says that my watch is incredibly accurate to be gaining at such consistency, I'm not in the least bit interested; I want it running within COSC limits, just like it's supposed to be.

Lucky me, RSC is a short trip away so getting the watch there for regulating is no biggie. What I want to know is, how long does it take (approximately) to physically do the job? Ok, I know much will depend not their workload, etc. but am I looking at them having the watch for a matter of days or weeks?

Should just be days Paul as they will need to test it in all positions.

No problem Brother!! I think my last go around was 48 hours from drop off to pick up at RSC in HCMC.

Hope they are swift and get you where you want to be

While i have no idea what they will actually do, it may depend on what you request.
A simple regulation should be fairly easy and they can test the accuracy on a timing machine but if you are adamant about COSC limits the actual COSC testing is fifteen days, in five positions, at three different temperatures. So if thats what you ask for i am assuming they will do that as that is the only way to certify it to that standard.

In that case you will be talking weeks.

I sent my Sub in when it was 2 months old. It was running a bit slow. They supposedly did a full service and it took 3 weeks to get it back. I did send it through my AD though.

Well in the real world regulation takes around 30-45 minutes tops including a pressure check after.But most watchmakers would like to keep the watch a few days after test to monitor the timing in different positions.Although when tested on a timograph it might test out as say +2 seconds, but it might be slightly different while on the wrist.

IIRC Vanessa wrote on a post here that she takes 4-5 days to check and recheck the regulation for accuracy after a service.

Can't tell about Singapore service centre but Abu Dhabi regulated mt Sub in 48 hrs. I only expect that Orchard Branch should be similar.
