My A series Submariner from 1999 has recently evolved...in a good way! It had been serviced a year ago and was running +1 seconds per day consistently on my wrist for the past few months regardless of how I wore it, set it down, etc. It's officially evolved into +/- 0 seconds per day! Gotta love that workhorse engine still running strong 13 years later!

Congrats, however I do wonder if you are checking this after just one day or over a course of at least a week.

Either way though these watches are pretty great aren't they?

6 more days since I first posted this...the timing is still dead on! The power of a good overhaul from the RSC

I really must admit that I am extremely jealous. I hope my brand new 2011 sub would function the same way. +/- 0 is just too nice to have from a mechanical watch IMO. MY watch is doing +10 sec / 24 hrs right now but +/-0 when i lay it down on its face when im sleeping... ima wait abit till i use it more (since i just recently got it), if it keeps up like this ima get it regulated, hopefully i can get it somewhere near +/- 1 sec/day, but i doubt that will happen without sending it to the RSC.

had the same problem with my 1998 Sub and after the service itis working perfectly..

Day 18. Still keeping perfect time! I do think I notice sometimes during the day it may appear off but I think my routine of taking it off for a few hours laying flat when I sleep or work out must help balance it out from when it's on my wrist.
