Last night I put about 30 turns in my watch before going to bed. I did this because I had not worn my watch very much the past few days. When I got up this morning it was 4hrs. and 45min or so slow. I have had this happen before but I thought it was lack of wearing it and the power reserve was running low.
It is only a few weeks old. Should I take it to the AD and have them send it to Rolex?

Why don't you give your AD a quick call, since there's not much time left before quitting time, and see what they recommend?

My above reply was not a jock. Just give it another chance! It happens all the time. Fully wind it and wear it

Most problems like this are impossible to diagnose if they are not repeatable..

Unless the watchmaker is on staff and available to talk to, then it is pointless to call your AD.

Give us some more info and maybe we can steer you a bit better..

Year of DJ, when last serviced, how often has it done this, any serious temperature fluctuatuins lately or hard knocks..

This is the 3rd time that it has done this. As for temp, I go from A/C to 80-90' a few times a day during the week. I would not think that this is something the watch cannot handle. And I do not recall knocking it on something and it surely has not been dropped.
I put the 30 winds in it last night to prevent this from happening.
It is a DJ 116234 I do not know the year. I purchased it about a month ago. This is the post of the watch http://www.rolexforums.com/showthrea...hlight=finally

Why does it run slow?

Welcome to TRF!

The reason might be that the PR (Power Reserve) was too low. You would wanna wind it up fully by turning the wind crown about 40 full turns.
