Hellow everyone. I am a new member.

I have a 5 year old GMT Master II & it is gaining about 10-15 secs a day. Knowing it should be +6 -4 is this normal & will a service sort it out?

At 5 years, it may be at the point where a good RSC service or watchmaker COA (clean, oil, adjust) service will be just what it needs..

Welcome to TRF!

Yes, a Rolex service would get that timekeeping issue fixed, and you would also get your GMT II back looking like NEW!

You should expect to pay around £ 250 for the service.

What bezel colour does your GMT II have?

Please post a before and after service pic of it

Here is MY suggestion how to post pics here:

1) Go to www.photobucket.com and create an account (it's FREE!)
2) Upload the pic to photobucket from your PC
3) When it's uploaded, copy the IMG code (BOTTOM bar under the photo in photobucket - there are four bars, but you'd wanna use the LAST bar - see my arrow on the Print Screen underneath). You copy the IMG code by simply clicking on the bar:

4) You then note that photobucket tells you "copied".
5) Then go to rolexforums and start your post.
6) In your post, press the "Add picture" button and a prompt pops up with http://. Delete that http:// and press CTRL + V (now that address of the photo - the "IMG tag" - is inserted in the prompt you got.
7) Then DELETE the last and first [IMG] to get rid of "IMG" standing before and after your photo when you post it. (not important, but just looks better).

Or you can skip # 6 & 7 and just rightclick in your post and choose "paste"...........BINGO your photo will be there as soon as you press Submit reply.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT DELETE THE PICTURE FROM PHOTOBUCKET (OR ANY SERVER YOU USE) SINCE DELETING IT THERE WOULD ALSO DELETE IT HERE ON TRF! (RED CROSS INSTEAD OF PIC).

That's it!

Hi guys. Many thanks for the advice. I will certainly get my GMT 2 serviced. It has a black bezel.:cheers. The watch is exactly 4 1/2 years old from brand new.

Certainly wouldn't hurt to have it serviced and regulated.
