I just acquired a 2nd hand 114060, great shape all around. Dated 2017 and after timing it for 2 days it seems to be +3/spd after being on wrist all day and then dial up during sleep. Im glad its running in the positive but I am coming from a Tudor 79230B that had been running < -.03/spd which I expected something close from a modern Rolex model. I take great pride in the precision of in-house automatic movements that are "Officially Certified" and expected a bit more from a "Superlative Chronometer"

I guess my question is as follows: Do I get some more wear out of it and then send it in while getting an appraisal from Rolex at the same time ( I think they still do that) OR Send it in ASAP before I become even more attached and wont be able to part with it???

If it were my watch I wouldn't bother to send it in. +3 sec/day is well within COSC standards.

Dude you can't tell after a few days. And its only 1 second off of spec. Wear it for a month and see if it corrects itself. How you lay your watch at night will also speed up or slow down your watch. Congrats and wear in good health.

I would leave it. you just got it, enjoy the watch, +/- 3 sec/day is SFA in the scheme of things. have it adjusted when it goes in for a full service.

kieselguhr · 28 November 2019, 10:05 AM

Superlative Chronometer is a marketing gimmick.

3 seconds is negligible. It’s a mechanical movement with many factors that will affect timekeeping.

Anamelistic · 28 November 2019, 10:05 AM

I figured I was being a bit over the top, also thought I should let it “warm-up” as previous seller had it sitting for a while. Running in the positive makes it easier to deal with. Thanks for the input. Cheers!!

dcash0615 · 28 November 2019, 10:18 AM

There is nothing wrong with your watch. It is keeping excellent time. It’s a mechanical watch and there are many factors that are out of your control that will effect its accuracy from day to day. Just wear and enjoy.

I want to say my day date was +2 when I sold it. It’s so close you’ll never notice

everyones heart beats differently- much like a Rolex- no need to service it and wear that thing proudly!

kauffee · 28 November 2019, 10:52 AM

Try laying it crown up or crown down. Dial up tends to speed it up more.

Running within COSC spec. Around or less than 2 years old.

... Nothing wrong with the watch... send to RSC for service?

Panych · 28 November 2019, 10:59 AM

Lay it crown up during a night and you will get -+2 sec/day.

Ssunnylee24 · 28 November 2019, 11:00 AM

Jeez, get your self an accurate quartz movement watch.

ROLEXster · 28 November 2019, 11:15 AM

I would rather have +3 spd, than a bunch of scratches / dents from RSC.

This exactly. Wouldn't it dawn on you to try a different storage position before sending it in...??????????
