Icon2 Timing Observations Between 3235 & 3285

fully wound and time set to reference, i noticed a month or two later consistently my sub w/ 3235 always slow losing 2-3 minutes a month while my gmt w/ 3285 is consistently on point on the minute with only the seconds +/-.

i rotate between the two every other day and fully wind and set to reference again on shorter months requiring manual date change. i consistently noticed the same results between the two watches.

anyone else experiencing their sub consistently losing time compared to other- rolex watches in your collection?

If the new one is losing more than 2 seconds per day, send it in for service. I haven’t done a timing check on either of mine, but they are both keeping good time, presumably within spec. If I notice otherwise, I’ll do a real timing check. If your watch is 2 minutes slow in a month, or 3 minutes slow in 2 months, it’s within spec.

Never been anal about checking any of my watches to the exact second,only got one watch with the 32 series movement.Did check that a few months ago and was running around COSC spec that's accurate enough for me thank god my life was never run to the exact second.And one thing that's most important with any mechanical watch is consistently.

Have not noticed.

If you want them closer in operation, have them adjusted. It's a fairly quick and easy thing to do.
