Watch runs slow

[chicagowatchman]

Just got my day date back from service and it is running one second slow per day should I be concerned over this could it actually speed up a bit over time

[SearChart]

It is within Rolex spec, why would you be worried?

[bobernet]

You were already told it was fine when you posted saying it was 20 seconds slow over 30 days.

Don’t feed the troll, folks.

[chicagowatchman]

I know I posted something similar but I just wanted to know if it could speed up
Over Time and I’m not a troll

[Rolexoman]

That’s like 30 secs per month, most if not all here would love to be that accurate

[chicagowatchman]

SoI shouldn’t be concern Ed that is not +1

[JohnTz]

Really?

[Maxy]

Maybe take it for jogging.. it might speed it up!

[Rolexoman]

Mine after getting back from a recent RSC regulation is running +3 a day or 1.5 mins fast a month so -1 is pretty decent

Yes, it is possible that it could speed up after a few weeks.

Nope. For sure, the faster you go the more time slows down. Whatever you do, don’t run.

Since its been worked on, try some different positions of rest. Are you wearing it or do you have it on a winder?

It’s on a orbita winder

Measure it for a month of wearing. Try different positions of rest at night off the winder. For me, dial down speeds it up. Dial up doesn't, if fact it may slow it down.

I can keep my Sub at zero with positional regulation. Haven't reset it since daylight savings and I am at a 0.0 rate. If I didn't turn it dial down at night I'd lose about a half sec per day.

Thanks for the information!

Could speed up. Could slow down. Could do neither. A mech watch will do as it pleases in the real world. While it’s within spec it’s completely normal and nothing to worry about. ��

And its possible it could slow down or speed up slightly its mechanical and many factors almost daily effect all mechanical watches.Such as earth's gravity,mainspring power-reserve,subtle changes in lubrication,different temperatures,metal expansion and contraction,shocks and so on.And seeing there are 86400 seconds in a day for any watch to perform within a few seconds either way is a mechanical marvel.Seeing what this little machine has to put up with daily on the wrist each day.Fact no purely mechanical watch any brand any price will keep 100% perfect time close yes but perfect no.

It spends most of the time on a orbita watch winder
Does that make a difference?

Yes on one of these machine winders the watch is in the same repetitive position normal just back and throe on the same plain and axis.No Rolex watch needs any sort of machine to wind it when you have two of the finest winders in the world called wrists.If not needed on the wrist just let it rest and stop,when needed just wind and set must take all of 30 seconds to do.

Would not worry about it, -1 sec is well within specs

[Pauln]

For the love of God...

[joli160]

Seriously ? minus one second ? 99.999 % accuracy so it appears to be in good working order.

That sums it up nicely

[sevykor]

I bet 99.9+% of mechanical watches will be less accurate than a quartz watch. If it bugs you, go quartz because the discrepancy in accuracy is not worth the aggravation.

Omfg.

[blue lion]

I've never been concerned over this amount

[Jostack]

What they’re saying is that it’s “ROLEX”

YOLO!

Accuracy is a novelty reserved for other brands?

Be careful , there are members here who live for this stuff, who are WE to tell them how accurate their watches should be
