Cost and time to regulate a Rolex
I am thinking about taking my datejust that runs about +6 seconds to be regulated. I live near both an RSC and a high end watch maker authorized by Rolex (I guess that’s what they mean by independent?). Either way, I was wondering if anyone knows what it typically costs for this service and how long I should expect it to take? I know the actual process of adjusting the screws doesn’t take long, but will rsc/the watchmaker typically keep the watch for a few days to test the timing?

+ 6 really isn't that bad. I took my 1993 Air King to be regulated shortly after a service.(both independent, service and reg. by two different people). It took my Indy about 10 minutes to regulate. Maybe a little less. Said I must wear it and may have to come back in. It was running about +10, now about +5 a day. I could go back but since my purchase in Sept. I have not taken my new 40mm Air-King off my wrist. She too is going to need a regulation. Running consistently at +20 seconds a day. Too fast for new watch, but I think a lot of the people on here get a a little nutty with the accuracy. I get the feeling the truth is bent a little. The +/- 2 out of the box is really unheard of. I'm a one watch guy. The older AK is my back up. Watch has to be worn all the time to have it regulated properly. I'm also a never take it off guy. Shower, sleep, always on.

Oh yeah, my Indy didn't charge anything for reg. He has done work for me in the past, but one should not be charged.

Of course. And yes, good point. Running consistently at +6 and mine for two months now at +20 sec. a day one can be assured movement is in good shape. Just needs a regulation.
