Icon20 When to adjust a watch?

Hi,
I have bought a brand new SS-TOG from Switzerland,1 week old.
It's run faster 10 sec. per day when compare to wwp.greenwichmeantime.com
My question is I should send it to RSC for adjusting or waiting for more time-How long?
Thanks in advance

I'm surprised that it's that far off ...

You should wait for a month with a new watch so you get a good feel for everything..

You should also give a full 40 winds of the crown to ensure it is in it's uppeer power band.........A watch that is not fully wound tends to run fast..

If it has not settled down after a month, and you have kept good records of it's timing for about 10 days, then this is way too far off and it should be regulated..

Yup, exactly what Larry said. If it's running on full wind and it's still fast after a month, take it down to the rolex Serviced Centre and they'll regulate it for no charge.
