I think you should bring it back to your AD or send it in for warranty work

Not the norm at all. It definitely needs regulation.

Not normal and should be regulated.
Just wondering...Have you tried timing it over 24 hour period with a full wind and not wearing it? Just wondering because I've had my diver gained +20 to 30 sec a day with very active wear but was spot on when left off the wrist for a day. |

Have been wearing it daily and place on the winder at night since.

What if you don't use the winder and see what happens, also leaveit at night facing different positions and see.

20 seconds seems like a lot for a regulation. The watch being magnetized is more likely. Any watchmaker can throw on timing machine, degausse (demagnetize) and put back on timing machine. Should take less then five minutes. If that does not resolve, then send to AP. Back is not opened so it is not going to affect warranty. Something you may consider before going through the expense and loss of wrist time of sending back to AP.

Thanks for your insight. I just got the watch last week, so its under warranty. I do hope its a straight forward issue as your described.

Get it tested for the 3rd yr warranty while you get it regulated in Clearwater.
