GMT Regulation

Had a regulation preformed on my old Gilt dial GMT as part of the free 10 point inspection of your watch at the recent Swiss Fest I attended.

The Rolex tech took my watch checked the movement,gaskets,crystal,crown and tube and said everything looked great.
He said it seemed to be a bit fast on his machine ( I had noticed it was a tad fast) and said "I gave it a little tweak".
Pressure tested fine and gave it back to me saying "That watch is in great shape!
Well, after 72 hours of checking the accuracy it has lost a total of 3 seconds.--1 second a day.
I suppose after 40 years it's earned the right to be fashionably late. LOL!
Gotta love those old 15xx movements!!
