New Submariner Movement Issue?

Ask for a new watch. Rolex advertises +/-2 per day, and that graph probably shouldn't be jumping around (although I'm no expert and could be wrong). Be firm about not having it sent in for repair as you shouldn't spend $7,000+ for something and not have it work right out of the box. I've learned he hard way to fix a problem with any new thing right away because it's not going to get better.

I'm a little surprised at how blasé people are about a relatively expensive watch not running as advertised. Yes, accuracy for a mechanical isn't that important (and 4 or 5 seconds per day is very good), but Rolex needs to stand behind the claims it is making about its product, assuming this is one of the watches that is supposed to run at +/-2.
