Over time, does a Rolex (with no service) gain or loose time?

Either way.

I guess it's a flip of the coin. Assuming nothing is wrong with the movement, is it still a coin toss as to a Rolex gaining or losing time?

If nothing is wrong, there's no reason for it to not keep time...

Thank you for the information.

I'm sorry for the short answers, but there really isn't more to it. It is very unpredictable what a watch will do, because there are so many factors that could possibly affect the way it runs.
Your best indication that a watch is due for service would be the (lack of) power reserve, or when the manual winding feels very rough.

Thank you for the answers, sometimes I tend to over analyze to the absolute, which is not possible. I was not trying to determine service work, I would never hesitate for service. I was thinking more abstractly assuming parts are fine and movement was in order. Would a Rolex slow down or from your answer, the power reserve would be the first noticeable decline in performance before accuracy?

A lack of lubrication will most likely occur first in the automatic mechanism, so I would think the power reserve would be affected first.
