Yes I can understand that. If I am translating the OP’s situation correctly, then here’s my take: 1) OP takes watch to RSC. 2) They analyze it (unknown method but likely timegrapher used at RSC) 3) Lady at counter says “not operating within COSC” 4) OP leaves it with them to correct it. 5) OP starts this thread not knowing if warranty will cover a regulation. 6) Confusion reigns 7) RSC tells OP it will be covered under warranty 8) RSC still has watch ...I think...

Not a Rolex but a Tudor I brought to RSC NY ended up having light scratches that weren’t there before. It wasnt a huge deal but it was clear to me that they’re not handling theses watch with kidd globes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Rolex sells a million new watches per year which means there's a million people trying to get a free service before the warranty runs out. maybe the full million aren't trying but a huge number are. Something for nothing, human nature I guess but you know Rolex has heard every excuse there is like uh my watch isn't running at COSC. I can't but wonder if the scratches aren't revenge for these tiresome efforts at a freebie. :)

However, if it really bugs you, take it to RSC, explain the problem and listen to their recommendation. Take *PLENTY* of pictures of the watch 00before you hand it over. Sent from my SM-A520W using Tapatalk |

Guys don't want to send their watch in because they are scared to have it opened and/or scratched up? They will accept an out of spec timekeeping issue (even 5s is unacceptable for me, I could love with 3/4) even though you are PAYING for the superlative performance? No thanks. Maybe because I wear my watches and wouldn't notice a new scratch or something. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

Yes it's funny. Will forgive the watch not being as precise or accurate as long as it doesn't get scratched. It's when we realise the watches core job is to look pretty these days, not tell the time.

RSC can tell what is wrong with the watch just by holding it? Of course I have to tell RSC know what is wrong with the watch.
And, do you think they will trust you by what you said? Of course not. They need to do their own test to confirm. That is common sense !!! Since the watch is not running within COSC, how should I know what the technician needs to do to fix the problem? It can be something else other than regulated it. Even the lady at RSC needs to call me back to confirm the watch is covered or not !!! |

Watch is a tool for you to wear on the wrist to tell the time !!! It is not a VASE for display so that it will not get SCRATCHES and better keep it in the safety box !!! |

If they do promise, it is totally your right to get the watch checked if it is not running within COSC. |

That is a confusion of certification (COSC) and actual use. Any instrument could work perfectly when new, but over time may need adjustment. Your lifestyle and real-life usage may affect accuracy. The warranty period is all that Rolex promises the watch will run accurately and not experience a manufacturing defect. After that, one is on his/her own. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
