New Rolex, not +2/-2

[fsprow]

Just travel more and you’ll need to reset your watch often enough that a few seconds won’t mean anything. Please also read up on precision versus accuracy.

It’s 4s brand new. Will probably be 2s within six months and three seconds within twenty years.

People taking they’re watches back to the store because it’s one or two seconds over in the first few weeks. It’s like someone buying a Range Rover (4x4) and then getting upset because they got out accelerated by a Porsche.

I own a L322 Supercharged and somehow you both are correct

Well OK. lol. My first inclination was to cite an Isuzu Trooper or a Land Rover Mk III. But in the interests of worldwide recognition I settled on the RR (which up until the mid 90s I’m sure was as bullet proof as any).

i'd only get it checked out if it was running +/- 15 secs

I understand expecting a brand new watch to perform to the advertised spec. That being said, if it's still +4 after taking the average in 5 positions, I'd just wear it as is. +4 is still pretty darn accurate (within COSC) and not worth the trouble of sending it for regulation, etc.

Just ran my Explorer through toolwatch.

What can I say. 100% - amazing.

Remember you have a five year warranty from Rolex. I would wear the watch and when not in use , keep on the winder then start logging the seconds lost or gained and if it isn't within the spec, then send it in.

I’d give it some time then if it’s no better send it in and hope they don’t mess it up.

I'm not sure there's much value for anyone to add at this point. Plain and simple nothing is wrong with the watch as told. It needs to be observed during a normal wearing cycle before anyone can add much input with any value to be able to say with confidence it needs an adjustment at RSC under warranty. The OP took the watch from the AD home immediately to the Lepsi, where the watch couldn't have been more than hand wound at best. To be +4 in that situation is hardly surprising nor is it an ideal test especially when comparing to watches worn in a rotation and on the regular. I really don't think it needs to be as complicated as we're making it, there's no false advertising

Wear it for a few weeks, will calm down. No worries.

My Sub was about +1.6 spd during the first week. Five years later, the same. More than 7 years later, still the same.

Yes! OP, wear it daily for a least weeks and then come back and post results.

No, forget the bloody stupid winder.
That only adds another layer of complexity to the issue that has absolutely no bearing on reality.

To the OP.
Wear the watch as much as possible for a few months whilst keeping an eye on it's accuracy if you need to.
But don't do anything about it until then.
Also consider that if you send the watch in early, it may come back with some damage that may be unacceptable to you which could be more problematic.
Remember there's 86 blah blah blah thousand seconds in a day and a few here or there is not going to stop the sun from coming up. Enjoy the watch
