My GMT accuracy
So I got my GMT in June and at first I thought I made an impulsive buy pm but that's what I do with everything I purchase. Thought where I can put the money for savings or towards the house with upcoming projects and so on. But everytime I look at my wrist I realize I made the right decision. Anyways in July I calibrated my watch according to time.is website for the new month and I have been checking it every so often. I figured I would let the watch run and not reset it until October when I have to skip the last day. Anyways he watch has been running now for 83 days and it is running a total of 56 seconds slow. Rough math tells me I'm losing a little over half a second a day (.65 to be exact).

Nice stats.
I prefer mine to run 0.65 s/d fast so I can hack it very quickly every morning..

It falls within COSC spec. 83 days = 7,171,200 seconds. 56 seconds slow is not too shabby.
Have you tried putting the watch on its back when it's off to regulate? Hope this helps! Enjoy your watch. GMT spec: https://www.rolex.com/watches/gmt-ma...blro-0001.html

No I haven't done that cause I only take it off if working on house/car. And when I'm not wearing it may only be an hour or so.

That is great accuracy. That's about what both my new Rolex models are doing without using a corrective resting position at night. When resting my watches at 6 o'clock up at night, I can maintain a +2 seconds in months.
