1970's DJ 16014 losing time over 24hr period

[wyattearp]

I bought a vintage datejust 16014 back in april and it loses about 1.5-2 minutes over a period of 24 hours. it was serviced back in 04 (yes i know i should take it in for service) but the AD said it should be fine as long as i wear it often(which i do, everyday). is there any specific position i should put the watch in while its on my nightside table in order to gain/lose/maintain time? Or should i call the AD and have them either service it themselves or send it to Rolex? It came with a six month guarantee which im guessing would cover this kind of problem.

If anyone could help me figure what to do that would be great. Im kinda strapped for cash and cant really go have it serviced myself at rolex for like 500$... Im wondering if it just runs slow like this because its an old watch with a different movement from newer ones which are more accurate.

It is just very disapointing knowing that i have to adjust the time every time i wake up/midway through the day when there is supposedly a 48 hour power reserve.


Cheers! Thank you!
