Tim, is this for a modern Rolex or a 4 or 5 digit? I've heard that position doesn’t make a difference for modern Rolex..... just curious.

This works for my 5513, but doesn't seem to make much of a difference on my DJ2 or Deep Blue. Just curious what your experience is.

Brian, it's my 14060M, about 3 1/2 years old. It's never been out much more than 3/4 second per day no matter what resting position it's in.

For me it works best with four-digit Rolex or any ETA (old or new), Brian. This is why I like ETA movements, I can go for months on end without re-setting my THC or BB, and keep them within a couple of seconds or so of perfect time.

Mine never sleep. Sometimes several will hibernate in my safe.

Crown up. My watch will gain time if I'm very active, with crown up it will lose about 1s/night. On it's back there is no time change.

Self regulating still works, just experiment
