So how do I go about this??........

[stockjock1975]

Hello all! I hate to admit it, but the inaccuracy of my SS Rolex Sub Date is starting to wear on me a little bit..... well, o.k., a LOT. After reading so many posts here and hearing many of you talk about how your Rollies are either spot on, or off just a second per day, I have decided I would like to send mine in to the RSD for an adjustment.

My Sub in about 10 months old and is amazingly CONSISTENT..... gaining 4.8 seconds per day (when stored in the crown up position at night). It gets a little worse (5.6/day) when stored crown down. All of these measurements were taken over a 7 day period and divided to get the appropriate "per day" gain rate.

So, here are my questions to all of you:

1. Am I just nuts to mess with this with these gain rates? I know, I know.... it's a mechanical piece and there are a lot of moving parts and to be off less than 5 secs per day is amazing when you think about it. That's all fine and good except that after reading these posts, better accuracy is obtainable, so why shouldn't I seek that out, right?!?!?

2. What would be involved with having this adjustment made? Is it something that requires the RSD to do, or can my local AD make an adjustment like this?

3. Finally, will I be charged for it since my watch is technically within COSC specifications? Or will this be covered under my warranty since the watch is new? If I have to pay, how much will it cost?

Thanks again everyone! I know posts of this nature have been covered Ad Nosium, but I appreciate your thoughts as it pertains to my situation.
