UPDATE +9 sec ... RSC Canada says +2 sec so won't make any adjustments?

Help me understand... did I test my Explorer accuracy incorrectly before visiting RSC Canada?? Maybe I don't fully understand COSC???

The Explorer is full wind and when worn on my wrist for 24 hours it gains +9 seconds, during the day it's regular daily movements and at night it's sleep movements.

Now for the 6 positions... 24 hours for each position:

Dial Up: +4 sec
Dial Down: +5 sec
Crown Up: 0 sec
Crown Down: +2 sec
Crown Right: -1 sec
Crown Left: +2 sec

How I did my testing was after 24 hrs in one position I would reset the time to Atomic time, 30 winds of the crown and repeat my test in another position for another 24 hrs. I do this for all 6 positions. Is this correct or should I have left the time after 24 hrs, 30 winds of the crown and record the time after another 24 hrs and repeat for all 6 positions and the compare the current time to my Atomic time source to see the final gain or lose?

Anyhow, I brought my Explorer to RSC Canada this afternoon to have it regulated based on a gain of +9 sec a day when worn on my wrist. A half hour later my watch was returned to me and was inform that their test show a again of only +2 sec in all 5 positions and because it is within COSC they will not make any adjustments. BUT they did offer to have my watch sent to the service department but that means leaving my watch with them for awhile which I declined for the time being.

One last thing... when they gave me back my watch it was cold, as if my watch was in the fridge over night. Any ideas on that?

Thanks for the advice in advanced.

Explorer is only 2 months old and gained +9 sec from when I bought it.
