Gain

I purchased my new Rolex Air King in November and love it.
I noticed it runs a little quick. What are the normal tolerances one should expect on such an excellent watch. It is running +4 over the course of about 5 days.

Any need to be concerned?
Thanks guys.

As long as you mean seconds, not minutes, that's about normal.

-4 to + 6 seconds per day is within spec. Yours is more than fine.

That is way to the good...you've got a great watch. When you think of all the seconds in a 24 hour period, it is amazing to think a mechanical watch could be within a second or two.
