I have a oyster perpetual datejust that continues to add 5 minutes, it was serviced 2 years ago...anyone run into this? I thought maybe I was losing my mind, but it has happened 2 times now in the past week. I can see it maybe losing a few minutes, but skipping ahead??

What time frame are you talking about?

You should probably take the watch in to be regulated and degaussed.

It is not possible for a mechanical movement to "skip ahead". I suspect some digital error/correction for this perception.

Demagnetised.

If the minute hand is a bit loose it could skip if you accidentally bump the watch. But I would expect it to skip randomly forward/backwards then.
