I received a 14060 'A' 5 days ago - a 10 year old watch with an unknonw service history. I have never set and compared my watches to "official time" - in fact, I posted 4 days ago here asking the question "what do I compare it to"?

So I set it against the USNO Master Clock - and this beautiful 10 year old sub is runnning a collective 8 seconds slow over a 4 day period - COOL

Yes cannot beat the older Rolex watches for accuracy try resting watch off wrist flat dial up might gain back a few seconds

Rolex used to provide this helpful insert - don't know when they stopped doing it. (Probably when "Sea Bathing" became "swimming") It is a shame as I bet they do a lot of warranty regulating that could be avoided.

What is typical average gain per day for rolexes? My sub is only a month old and i've worn it somewhat haphazardly so far, so tough to tell. And from what I understand it picks up time off the wrist when when it sits face up and loses time when it is on its side with the crown turned up?

2 seconds per day, that's great!

My 27 day old GMT IIc has settled on -2secs a day. I hope it is still -2 per day after 10 years.

My SD is running +- 0 seconds for over a week!
