New Explorer I back from RSC

It was running quite fast (+20 spd) when I bought it new from AD.

Sent it to Rolex in Toronto, and after a quick 9-day turnaround, it's back home, and so far, in 5 days, it gained less than 2 seconds. Now, that's what I expected from a Rolex.

However, no explanation as to why it was running fast. Only comment was "watch set to ex-factory standard of 2 minutes per month", if that means anything...

Anyway, problem solved, that's all I needed.

Glad it's sorted, and enjoy that watch! (It's an "Explorer", not "Explorer I").

Glad they took care of it for you. That's what you would expect from Rolex.

Fantastic turn around! They all should be closer to +/- 2 sec/day
