My one-month old ROC 26315 is running 9-10 sec fast daily

Is this normal for an AP? Thanks thanks.

There are so many factors to consider that this can’t be answered, it’s like asking someone on the internet what time is it. How often are you wearing it? Do you put it on a winder? If not, how are you storing it? How are you actually checking if it runs fast?

10s daily doesn’t seem that bad. Means adjusting back 5 mins every month which I could live with.

AFAIK, AP are not COSC certifies so no real benchmark to compare, once you can live with it then your ok. Pretty sure you can have AP regulates within warranty if your unhappy and if they feel it’s out of their spec.

For me, I think I be ok within +-15s/day for an AP.

I wear it 2-3 days a week. I don't put on winder. I put it on a table when I am not wearing. I check the accuracy by comparing to my smartphone time every morning.

Yes, my 15500 is, on the wrist, within a second or two per day.

I believe RO was at +19

AP sales rep told me the 3120 movements are regulated to +\- 10-12 sec per day.

How long have you observed that? So if it’s over 10 days then the watch should be ahead >1.5 minutes?
All my watches also show variations in gaining or losing time depending on how they’re stored, face up/crown up/down etc.

You will be surprised that Rolex is more accurate than AP.

I don't know why but 2 of my Rolex is running +-1.5sec per day. But 5 of my AP range from +-3sec to +-10sec.

But then again AP is an art piece, Rolex is a tool watch.

Just like Roll Royce which is hand made, no 2 panel is the same.

Just enjoy the beautiful piece you have and don't worry too much about it unless it's fast/slow by 5-10mins per week, I'll be worried.

I would try a few different positions to alleviate the issue. From my perspective, my 44mmTiROO would only lose about a minute after month max. My ceramic perpetual calendar is roughly the same as well. Historically speaking between my other few APs the accuracy has never been a real issue.

[macrowatch]

My power reserve isn't long enough for me to notice before it dies. Lol.

I have two AP, 9 Rolex and 4 others. All Rolex are very accurate within 2 sec. per day. AP 15500 is doing good as Rolex, but 37 mm one is 8 sec. per day.

I have to give a credit to Rolex for their accuracy at their sale price. AP should have come out better at their premium price.

[Chewbacca]

A revealing thread.

Although wouldn’t AP fast track a regulating service?

[startrolexendrolex]

Just found this thread, I usually check my vintage watches on a timegraph and just randomly put my new offshore on it and is doing 8 to 9 sec fast per day. I was shocked.

It's normal, but mine's about 4-5 I think. I don't really care, rarely wear it more than twice in a row, so?

[Andad]

9 to 10 is not bad I thought they usually ran at about 8?

[speedfighter]

Well it makes me really appreciates my Omega POC. In 2 years it's out 3 seconds. Every other watch is at least 3 seconds per day but the Omega is phenomenal for some reason.

As others have said, I've been pleasantly surprised that my 15500 is within 1-2 spd on the wrist.
