16710 Pepsi Regulated

[Nairn1980]

Hi all,

You may have seen the post that I bought a 2000 GMT Pepsi, full set and absolutely mint.

However it was gaining time every day (out with COSC)

However someone I know at Aurum Group took it for half an hour and had it all regulated etc and now it keeps absolutely perfect time, not even gaining or losing a second a day so far.

I am absolutely thrilled and just shows what these AD watchmakers can do.

Glad you had it addressed and are happy with the result.

Thanks, the morale of the story is having strong relationships with an AD can work wonders. Despite me not buying it there they went out of their way to help me.

Nice. Enjoy.

Thanks, sorry if it's a pointless post. I just had no idea that a watch timing could be fixed so easily without sending back to Rolex.

You're happy with the result and shared with us. Not pointless at all.

All's well that ends well.

Would be interesting to see how many ADvhave the facility to regulate a watch.

Very nice result Congrats

To regulate it, seems they would need to open it (please correct me if I'm wrong - always something new to learn here). If so, was it resealed and tested?

Only the largest I believe.

I actually have no idea, I'd assume they'd have to open the case.
As for sealing and testing I've actually no idea, that's a very valid point.

Can any experts shed some light on this?

I don't ever swim or dive with any of my watches. The most water they see is when they get a good wash every so often. I'm pretty sure I've no reason to doubt the basic water resistance?

Thanks for highlighting this.

Hi I this something you can do by walking in off the street and have your watch corrected ?

Where did you have yours done ?

The RSC will do a more thorough job, timing it in a few positions over a few days.

I believe that the pressure test machine uses for most models is quite compact so it is possible they have one. Can't see them just giving you the watch back without testing it.

Absolutely, and my idea was to send it to RSC.

However the offer to regulate it locally was ideal. After a few years I'll send it to Rolex for a full service.

To regulate most any watch with the aid of a timeing machine takes around 30 minutes or less including pressure check.Some may want to keep watch a few days after as a further check in static different positions. But for any mechanical watch to keep 100% daily accuracy is a watch in a million.

Great to know, thanks.

It has lost 1 second in 3 full days. It's been worn during these 3 days during most of the day and lying flat at night off my wrist.

I am absolutely delighted with that and would have been delighted with a second a day lol
