buy a watch with a battery if 2.5 seconds bothers you because clearly 2 seconds will bother you too. You are talking about 15 additional seconds a month and the watch is already -0.0035% from 100% accuracy.

Should I take it to RSC or is there any other remedy? I tried to put it with its dial facing up during night time for couple of days but no result.

I would not as that is excellent accuracy

.5 seconds.....no.
First, make sure it's completely wound. I wind mine all the way every time I have to reset the date. Is you're watch a green seal watch, which guarantees the new standard?
Also, .5 seconds on Time.is can be the result of internet connection. When I want to spazz out and measure, I use multiple sources....my quartz Suunto, internet resource, atomic tuned watch and if you want to be sure pass by an AD to measure it's rate on that machine(I don't know the name of).
If we round up your 2.5 seconds up to be extreme...then it's losing 3 seconds a day and would be a little off but measuring over an average of two days isn't enough data to convince me that my watch has a problem.

Mechanical watches can be affected by many things, to include activity. I find that my watches run a bit fast when I'm running around all over the place.
With that in mind you said "after two years", which means it was fine and now over just two days it's deviated...I'd collect more data and try some trouble shooting first because if it bothers you that much it is very difficult to regulate a watch for .5 seconds...it may come back too fast....or worst, slower, and then there's all the time you'll be without it.
You may need a quartz if .5 seconds bothers you.
