Sub 16610 running too fast

[bismaster]

Hey,
I bought a Sub 16610 exactly one year ago and I recently realized that it's running too fast by 10 sec/24hours.

I'm wearing the watch every day for at least 18h.


Is that normal and can I do anything about it?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Phil,

10 sec/24 hours + is definitely too much; this is even out of Swiss chronometer specs.

But the good news: It is not a big issue. Any AD should be capable to regulate it with a special tool which allows to change the inertia of the balance wheel inside the movement.
Normally, they can do it on the spot, it takes about 20 minutes to open the watch, regulate it, change the seals, close it and check for water resistance.

Kind regards
Tom

Is that covered by the Rolex warranty ?

Hi Phil,

normally yes, and my AD did it free of charge even 4 years after the warranty period; it is really not a big issue.
