By the way, one of Rolex watches is losing 2 Seconds a day. Is this normal? Does it have accuracy problems?
Thanks.

landroverking · 22 January 2016, 12:13 AM

No it's fine

NKflyer · 22 January 2016, 12:13 AM

It's fine. The acceptable range is -4 to +6 seconds per day.

aayates · 22 January 2016, 12:13 AM

Yes, and no, respectively.

antbkny · 22 January 2016, 12:21 AM

Store it dial up at night and maybe you'll gain some seconds back by morning.

Well there are 86400 seconds in a day so your watch is showing a accuracy of 99.998%.Truth be told no purely mechanical watch will keep 100% perfect time at any price or brand close yes but perfect no.

The Joker · 22 January 2016, 12:45 AM

Maybe your atomic clock is wrong, a Rolex never is.

sco · 22 January 2016, 12:57 AM

My sub runs about -2 seconds a day as well. Although I'd rather it run fast than slow, I'm happy with the that.

Can't say fairer than that.

roadrunner117 · 22 January 2016, 01:18 AM

My sub runs -2 seconds per day also, with crown up or down, or dial up. The only position I can get it to gain a second or two is with the crown on the left. And the only way I can position it that way is on my winder.

A watch that is off by a minute is 99.93% accurate. Is is acceptable, absolutely not.

antbkny · 22 January 2016, 02:53 AM

no matter the percentage of accuracy, nobody likes a slow watch.

yeah, this scale is kind of ridiculous. I mean 99.9% sounds amazingly accurate.

As many others have mentioned, the best way to look at this issue (or non-issue) is COSC is -4 - +6 per day. That is the standard most modern Rolex models are certified for. As long as your watch run within those standards it's doing it's job.

My LVC is about -1 to -2 SPD also btw.

That's not the case here. To the OP, yes it is acceptable..

I don't think that was kingSubTT's point. I think he was saying that to base the accuracy of a watch on a percentage is misleading. 3 hundredths of a point, not only knock a watch way out of COSC, but make it horribly inaccurate.

Thanks for clearing that up. OP your watch is still preforming awesome..

The watch may adjust, but you will never get that time back...

I just re-read this like 10 times. Are you being philosophical? You're also only a few syllables away from a haiku!

Not a problem--it's still within COSC's acceptable range.

tritium8 · 22 January 2016, 04:43 AM

I'm the only one who thinks this watch is completely defective.....and should be shipped to me immediately for proper disposal?

stil · 22 January 2016, 05:10 AM

My 14060 is about -3 to -4 per day...and my 16234 is around +2 to +3 per day. Those results seem perfectly fine to me.

WatchinMD · 22 January 2016, 05:30 AM

That is about what my BLNR is running now. I have stopped obsessing quite as much about it. I let it get about 30 seconds slow and then jump it forward a minute. Only have to do it about every 2 weeks and the watch is always within 30 seconds of the correct time. It is marginally more trouble than hacking a fast watch every so often.

My Hulk bought brand new April 2014 runs -2 seconds a day consistently. While I would prefer it to run fast, it is fine. Still within COSC specs.

TimeRookie · 22 January 2016, 05:56 AM

I've been tracking my BLNR for 35 days on Watchtracker. It is running .7 seconds/day fast. That's amazing as far as I'm concerned. To the original poster, my watch ran a bit slow at first and has settled in at this + .7 secs/day in the last month. I haven't reset the watch since the day I got it, (2 months), and it is now 21 seconds fast. I'm not sure how long you've had yours but it may change a bit after you wear it for a while.
Don't worry about. It's fine!!

axjimenez · 22 January 2016, 06:03 AM

Sounds pretty solid to me!

xelor69 · 22 January 2016, 06:06 AM

nw, but when it runs a lil faster, just plug the crown and sit back
