Rolex losing 3 minutes a day
I just purchased a newer model Explorer 1, so definately less than 2 years old.
It is losing 3 minutes a day. Yes it's fully wound, and I double checked That seems like a Lot, wondering if that may be soemthing besides a regulation, And how much can the regulation actually compensate for ? |

Losing 3 minutes is neither acceptable, nor normal for a new Rolex and expect warranty service is required.

Sure, will take 4-6 weeks, but you will get it resolved properly! I personally would not experiment by taking to AD, especially when you are still covered under the Rolex warranty..

As Padi notes, regulation will not likely help. Why not take advantage of your warranty; you paid for it as part of the price in buying a new watch? |

Fully turned 50, wore it for 2 days. Just like my others, doing nothing different
Using time time.gov can clearly see it losing about 7 seconds an hour Quote:

I would just send it in directly to RSC and not waste my time having ADs tinkering with the watch.
