I sent my 16750 to the Dallas service center about 18 months ago for a full servicing. Lately I've noticed it's been gaining time....up to 10 seconds a day. I cant remember what their warranty on a service was. Not sure I'm ready to send it away for another 6 weeks, but it was an expensive service, I don't think I should be seeing this kind of performance already. What do you think

Call them and explain what's happening, they may be nice and take it in, if the warranty just passed. I don't know about RSC, but the LVMH SC warranty is 1 year.

Should be two years on a new RSC warranty, unless your previous service was for an issue under a pre-existing warranty.

when I switch watches and wear my Sub, I could go for a week or 2 with the GMT sitting in the safe. Could that 'non use' be the cause of the accuracy issue? If so, better to have only 1 Rolex...or a good winding box.

No but if you did not give it a full manual wind to start it would.I just cannot see why they have got to sent any watch back to the RSC for such a simple task as regulation.Its a 30 minute job start to finish and thats including a pressure check too.

Exactly...

Your watch has slipped out of calibration and not likely in need of a service but simply a routine regulation...

If you are close by an RSC and have your service paper, they might regulate it while you wait.. if not, any Dealer with a watchmaker on staff should do it for a nominal charge.........

Heading out to an AD today to see what they'd charge for regulating it. I'll keep you guys posted. I wasnt really into sending it back to RSC for what I assume is a simple and hopefully inexpensive fix.

The warranty with full RSC service changed from 1 year to 2 years within the last year or so. If you received a paper warranty certificate; it's a 1 year warranty. If you received a small plastic card (credit card size) you will have a 2 year warranty on the service performed by RSC.
