I’ll likely keep an eye on it and reevaluate again before the warranty is up.
Regarding controlled environment when I bought my new car about 2 years ago they advertised I would get 45 miles to the gallon.Well these car mileage tests are done in a controlled environment,and myself have never achieved the mileage stated.Why because there are many variables when driving a car things like traffic how heavy foot on gas pedal.Did I take my car back over a few miles per gallon I did not get definitely not, and yes my car was expensive too just like Rolex are.Well its the same for watches most all comes down to owners wearing habits, why some worry today over a few seconds defeats me.
