Mine will typically gain 1 second (sometimes less) in a 24 hour period. At that rate, I'm not sure if I would notice a change in 4 - 5 hours, but that doesn't mean it's dead-on to the second. I would still see a change over a longer period.

I was shocked by the accurancy but.. it is also a new watch

Yes I did check the App this morning against Time.gov and just now too and both are dead on accurate with one another. I just checked my SubC & it is currently running right at -3 (slightest degree to -4) if my eyes are deceiving me that is.

I checked mine over the past 24 hours using time.gov and it's running less than 1 second fast. I've had other Rolex's run quite a bit faster or slower. Unless it's running more than 5 seconds fast/slow, I don't worry about it. If it bothers you, send it in to have it regulated.

Judging by when I had set the time against the Watch Tracker App yesterday (looking at yesterday's posting on here) it appears the -3 sec calculation is within a 24 hour time interval so safe to say my watch is running -3 no matter how many times I monitor it, Lol. At least its not -5 or more that would be very annoying.

Since it's new I would wait it out to see if it stabilizes. It may change in few weeks or months. My BLNR used to lose 1 to 2s per day when it was brand new then now maybe 1s per few weeks. I would just enjoy it for now and deal with it few months later, unless you think you can return it for a full refund, which is unnecessary anyways.

I'd still play around with resting positions to see if that changes anything. If not, then yeah...that's out of spec. Then it's up to you to decide if you want to do something about it.

It's worth noting that being consistently "off" (say, always -3 or -4 spd) is no indication there's something wrong with the movement. In that case, it would actually be keeping excellent time, relative to itself: the hour hand would consistently be making two full rotations in 24 hours and 3 or 4 seconds. It's just that the rate would be off, and could use a regulation. There would be no harm in allowing it to continue the way it is; it would come down to how much it annoys you. On the other hand, if under similar circumstances (e.g., worn the same amount each day, rested the same way each night), the variation keeps changing substantially, then something else might be going on.

The watch should be more or less running at a RATE of +/- 2 seconds per day assuming this was a newly purchased watch in the last few months. COSC is +6/-4 seconds per day. So really anything in there is acceptable generally speaking. Rolex just has a more stringent +/- 2 sec/day calibration now on their new watches.

I still cannot tell if he's saying rate or simply total time off from Day 1 to Day X.

He started daily observation yesterday. So far, the watch has lost between 3 and 4 seconds since yesterday afternoon or evening. Until yesterday, he was noting total change over a longer period.

[Onequik135i]

Yes my 114060 was purchased new from a local AD 3 weeks back, and just to clarify I am going by a 24 hour time period from yesterday afternoon at around 4 pm till now I had set my watch to Watch Tracker app to the exact second then & now as I am typing this it appears my SubC is running -3 to almost possibly -4 seconds slower than Watch Tracker app now. Being this is the current 3130 movement and not the newer movements being offered in some of the other models maybe it would be safe to say my watch is running under COSC specs now that you had pointed that out.

And yes that is correct

All Superlative Chronometer movements are +/- 2 spd since late 2015 or early 2016. If yours came with a green seal hang tag (which it should have), those are the specs for your watch.

Yes, mine does have the green hang tag. Guess I will have to live with -3 sec lost per day unless I send it out and risk damage to the casing once its opened etc. Things could be worse I know.

I don't think you have to worry about damage if Rolex handles it, and since it's under warranty, you should ONLY let Rolex handle it. If an independent opens it, that will void the warranty. (A good independent would know that anyway, and wouldn't touch it.) The bigger headache is waiting: turrnaround time on repairs can be weeks to months.

I know I'm a broken record, but until you've experimented with resting positions, or checked positional variance on a timegrapher, you don't really know how well your movement could be keeping time. There's no guarantee a change in resting position will cause the movement to run faster, but it could. (You could also find positions that make it run more slowly.) The point is, if this issue is bothersome to you - and a week of posts suggests that it is - there's more you can do on your own beyond sending it in or living with it.

[Onequik135i]

I think the easiest other than changing positions while the watch is not being worn would be to go to a local AD such as Mayors which is not where I had purchased it from (but have purchased a new TT DJ in 2004 from them) and have them run a timegrapher on it that way I will know for sure it may sound. I just checked the GS Hi Beat when I got home and it gained +5 seconds since last night’s time setting so you were close in estimating +4.
