Found MY regulation position

[Bybybmw]

My YM, 268622, gained time at night while off the wrist. Didn't matter what position I used until I found one quite by accident.
Last night I laid my watch dial down by accident. This morning it had not gained ANY time. Usually it would gain 1+ sec/day at night.
This has taken my YM from almost 2 sec/day gain to <1 sec/day.

This being a newbie to Rolex is fun.

I’m very lazy with mine as long as it’s within a couple minutes I couldn’t really care

I have no clue if any of my watches lose or gain time. It’s Rolex so I trust they do the job I paid them to do

Give it a year and you will hardly care. I remember those days- almost like bringing home a newborn baby as you try and figure out the care of your new treasure.

If it were me, I’d simply keep it dial up overnight.

My sub was gaining 1 or 2 seconds a night in the crown up position and crown down it is bang on pretty much. My watch is only a few weeks old so it might need more time to break in before I find the right position.

Have to agree and why even bother for perhaps 1-2 seconds out of 86400 in a day.

I am so new to the family that I find this is a fascinating aspect of Rolex ownership.
And knowing me, I suspect within the year I won't be checking as regularly as I am now.

Good point.

However it's just a bit of fun and the knowledge gained is a useful tool to use in self regulation as desired.
A very old school concept but good

I suppose it would definately be a fruitless pursuit if one's watch was all over the place in terms of timekeeping, but for those with watches which are running in a predictable manner it's also nice to have the option of using it to good advantage whether one cares or not

It's just a small part of the overall ownership experience
Enjoy

Man, I thought a "regulation position" was something else entirely!

My bad.

If you keep hanging around here you'll soon be rotating through so many that one could lose 10 minutes in a day and you wouldn't notice.
