less than +2 a day since. Looking at my Sub knowing it was gaining that much time a day really bothered me. For me, it kind of took the joy out of owning a Rolex.

Agreed it does rather take the joy out of the brag of it being a mechanical watch, and accurate, etc but,

I don't mind.

I'm sourcing an independent watchmaker worthy of the job (here in the UK - and I can tell you, there aren't many)

But I'll get there and sort it. I'm sailing single-handed to the Azores next year - and I intend for the sub to be ship's chronometer - or at least think it is!!! (as well as the GPS, etc ) - so will sort it by then.
