acceptable loss / gain per day

[Ko7ex]

my recently purchased y series date 15210 appears to be running fast to about 5 seconds per day. as this is my first Rolex I was just wondering what is considered the norm for gain / loss per day?

Also, should this require attention, is it something easily resolved by a reputable watchmaker or would it require a RSC to sort within a service?

thanks

While this falls within the COSC testing standards of -4/+6 seconds a day, it is not the norm for a Rolex.

Almost any modern Rolex is capable of much better than that, and I am usually satisfied with 3 seconds (I will get it regulated at 5 seconds).. I would say though, around 2 seconds is the "norm" for a modern Rolex movement..

Any competent and qualified Rolex watchmaker can easily regulate your watch..

You can even take some steps to self-regulate: http://www.minus4plus6.com/regulation.htm

Thanks guys I'm new to the whole Rolex thing so wasn't sure. I shall give the self regulating tips a try and keep an eye on whether it makes any difference or not before deciding on having someone take a look at it
