Quick question. I just picked up a brand new Sub from AD. Immediately brought it home and connected it to my Lepsi and its running +4. My other watches run +2/-2 on this same device... Recommendations?

pepsiretail · 10 July 2019, 08:50 AM

Yes, unhook it from the machine and wear it

After a week or so if there is still a problem have it adjusted

-2+2 is an average of five tested positions. Dial up, dial down, crown down, crown left and crown up.

Did you test in five positions and take the average or just test one position?

polaris72 · 10 July 2019, 09:06 AM

Wait some time, give it 2-4weeks. Your watch has 5 year warranty...

cts · 10 July 2019, 09:06 AM

Just 1

Agreed. So accurate. I couldn’t be happier with my GS Spring Drive chronograph.

Radix · 10 July 2019, 09:32 AM

Give it some time. After about 6 months, my DSSD settled in to an accuracy of about +1 per day, maybe a bit better, whereas when I first got it, it was about -2 to -3 per day. I’m impressed with its accuracy now.

123Blueface · 10 July 2019, 09:36 AM

Wow!
Have owned Rolex/Automatic watches since 1994.
Have no clue what the heck you are talking about.
Have never wondered if any of my watches functioned as designed, to spec.
I must be one happy go lucky fool.
Please........enjoy the watch and throw away those nonsense devices.
Life is way, way too short for this nonsense.

I know that i am a picky guy on my watches, but +4 is something i would not be concerned about. Specially because i swap daily between them. At this rate you have to set it 5 minutes back after ten weeks. So thats not really an issue if you have an Sub date, because you have to change the date anyway in the 30 days months ;)

What Radix said.

Ichiran · 10 July 2019, 09:57 AM

My DJ has the same issue, +8 everyday, so I brought it back to RSC and they fixed it. Regulation issue they said. Some new watches may have such problem.

jrs146 · 10 July 2019, 10:16 AM

I’ve never tested mine. As long as it tells time I’m ok.

Jostack · 10 July 2019, 10:45 AM

Don’t ask for advice about accuracy on this forum. You are likely to be derided for actually expecting the accuracy performance that is advertised by Rolex.

Exactly this.

I have never checked my own but I could not care less about how accurate my Sub is, I'm too still much too busy being grateful and overjoyed that I actually got a new SS Rolex from an AD at retail in this climate.

i second this. but ok to post stuff about cooking, earthquakes, fav cars, etc.

N5XTC · 10 July 2019, 11:13 AM

i can tell you this, they tested my sub on machines, it performs different on the wrist. wear it for a few weeks and track it by hand. i bet she locks in within specs after awhile. if not, you have her regulated.

Believe it or not the two things most computers can’t do very well is keep time accurately and add up numbers.

904VT · 10 July 2019, 03:07 PM

Did it even get a chance to run on a full power reserve yet? Give it some time to see how it behaves over normal cycles. You have 5 years of warranty

fastship1009 · 10 July 2019, 03:14 PM

give it some time.

Ricky Rolex · 10 July 2019, 03:33 PM

My Explorer was running +4 a day at first and I though ouch but I’ve worn it almost every day and after about a month it’s literally running +2 a day exactly.

I think once it settles down and gets into a rhythm of sorts it becomes more accurate.

Hmmmm...I had never heard that. Interesting. Welp, I guess Seiko built a pretty good computer, if its that accurate!

It’s nice that you don’t care, but many of us want a $10,000 watch to amaze us with its accuracy. I have a $100 Seiko 5 that runs 4.5 seconds slow, I want more from a Rolex and they say they can do better in their marketing. That being said I have a couple of new Rolexes that are outside of their spec and I wouldn’t do anything about it. Neither would I worry about older models, but I am a bit happier when I see my watches meet or exceed expected deviations than when they dont.

Rocket launcher · 10 July 2019, 08:07 PM

Should have bought an Air-King It's probably magnetised... Air-Kings have anti magnetic properties...

There is more to worry about in this world than +2-2 you should really be thinking ..I should have bought an Air-King.
