will Rolex regulate my watch under warranty ?
My watch ( and the one before it ) both have same movement and with constant wear are accurate to around 1.3 seconds a day slow. i would prefer if they ran at this level fast instead, is this something Rolex would do under warranty ?
i like to sleep with my watch on so self adjusting not really an option.. |

Short answer: yes.
They did it for me without cost. Which watches and movement? |

I doubt it and in any case I wouldn’t have a watch opened up for that small deviation.
And have a great 2022. |

More likely the AD will regulate it free if they have a trained watchmaker. Regulation is pretty simple.

I would never open a new watch for such a miniscule variance.

I sure wouldn't bother with this small adjustment. Well within specifications.

Rolex SA specifies the movement PRECISION after casing and not the ACCURACY.

It’s well within specs so I doubt intervention would be required

Have to agree not worth the trouble getting the back off for such a trivial adjust out of 86400 seconds in a day.

Thanks for all comments, more than happy with accuracy just wish it was ever so slightly fast as its so much easier to adjust, my previous Omegas always ran a little fast !
If the AD can take back off and adjust I am assuming there is no detriment to the watch etc as its 'Rolex' doing the adjustment and therefore will continue to have same time remaining on warranty and water resistance ? |

Anyone who knows their watch is 1.3 seconds slow, should be able to make a personal adjustment, easier than adjusting the watch.

None of my watches run even the slightest bit slow. It would annoy me also, but I am pretty anal.
Having my AD do a regulation would have zero impact on the warranty as they are Rolex trained. Every watchmaker taking a watch in trade opens the back to verify its not swapped. Quote:

But the OP may need to modify their habits slightly. At least until the next service where the watchmaker can hopefully adjust it to run more in line with the OP's preferences. |

I doubt Rolex will touch it. Not worth opening the watch for.

If this is an issue with a mechanical watch then OP should have bought a Casio.
I think this is amazing only to be that far out with 86400 seconds in a day. Appreciate it for what a wonder it is.

If you can't handle losing 9.1 seconds in a week there are much bigger problems.

A) Sleeping with your watch? B) Trying a dial up position overnight to correct -1.3s/d.

So according to Rolex a watch could be 10 minutes/day fast or slow but still be precise according to their specification?

I get it as a watch running slightly fast is always preferred. If a watch runs consistent at -1.5, it can be regulated to run +1.5 just as consistent. We did a poll years back and the results weren’t even close with running slightly fast. That said, it’s the luck of the draw and 32 series moments have tended to run on the slow side eventually. I wouldn’t worry or get too ocd with a negative -1.5. If it slips to a -3, then have it regulated. I would play with its resting positions.

Ditto the comments above re a watch that is within COSC spec and attempt overnight regulation.
For watches that I have had running slow, I would set them three minutes fast, then make a readjustment after 60 days when the date changes. ~ Sheldon

Thanks for the useful responses ! I prefer to have my watch run fast and will take to AD as it’s suggested it’s straight toward
