I wouldn't send it to RSC for a regulation, someone in Boston can do it in a few short hours...

Low and behold, just want to share some price info.
I dropped my Submariner off att RSC Tokyo today, and the base price was 450,000JPY (about 450USD). And this is in the land of "nothing but the best of the best quality" is accepted. I even managed to negotiate a reduced lead-time from 4 to 3 weeks.

Man, you gotta love this place...(except working here of course)

I don't want to change my habits because of how the watch performs. I'd rather the watch change, and not my practice. If that makes sense.
Simple truth no mechanical watch any price any brand will keep 100% perfect time close yes perfect no. Remember there are 86400 second in a day so even at the bottom of your scale your watch is still 99.994% accurate..

I had my AD ship mine for regulation. You will be glad you had the regulation done. You can ship and save time and maybe some money too.

I recently bought a Sub C at Longs Jewlers in Braintree MA. Watch was 15 sec fast per day. They shipped it back for me at no cost for regulation. Watch is now 1 or 2 sec fast a day. I couldn't be happier. It was gone 3 weeks. Well worth it IMO

Rolex is too. Their shipping instructions say specifically to not use plastic tape to seal the box you are shipping the watch in.

X2 something just seems strange about this thread. One is banned and the other OP speaking is not. However both seem to be talking about the same issue. Or am I just missing something here.
