Hi all,
there are already a number of posts concerning this subject,I know,but this may help some of you as to what is possible/acceptable from this movement.After a stroke last year,I treated myself to a Rolex submariner 16610 S 1994 because I was feeling sorry for myself.Service history unknown but about 7-8 secs slow per day. For peace of mind I gave it to Rocco at Watchworks Bristol to give a complete service and spruce up.Tritium dial and hands not to be replaced. When I collected it,it was running 2 secs slow. I waited for 3-4 weeks to let it settle down but no change.I took it back and asked him to regulate to run slightly fast because it"s easier to set when needed. Since then it has run +/-0 over a 5 month period.Checked by atomic clock.During this time it has gained or lost 1 or2 seconds in a day but by laying it dial up it gains 1or2 secs overnight or loses 1or2 secs if laid dial down or if I wear it in bed(can"t bear to be without it).This is better than some quartz watches,not that it matters.I have found that dial position overnight DOES affect timekeeping though not by very much.Fantastic watch,excellent movement,that"s what you pay for after all.Some random pics os 16610 before service,and Fred who"ll do anything for a treat
Hope this helps some of you,
regards Dan
