Should I bother regulating my SD43 at the RSC Sydney AUS?

[rowlecks]

I have a 40th anniversary Sea Dweller that I bought from a grey dealer last month with an AD stamped and dated Rolex warranty card etc, so it’s still well within warranty.

I’ve given the watch several complete winds over the course of the month (40 odds turns on the crown). However, My watch is losing between 3 to 5 seconds per day, regardless of the crown position when the watch is at rest. When the watch is not being worn, it is placed with the dial facing up with the intention that it will gain time, but this does not actually make any difference at all. I would very much prefer my watch to gain time than to lose time.

I’m tossing up whether I should bother sending my watch into the Sydney RSC for regulation. My biggest hesitation at the moment is that this particular RSC has some fairly negative reviews on google, recent ones as well, especially from customers who sent their watches in for service or regulation and then receiving the watch back with the exact same poor time keeping performance. I could also be without my watch for an extended period time as well, given the shutdown period at this time of year.

What would you guys do in my situation? Keen to hear your thoughts.

Cheers
