Hey so I finally got a membership and finally got my first Rolex! Technically it's my second because I bought a two tone datejust last year with diamond dial but for some reason I returned it, buyers remorse I guess. Should have kept it really. For seven months I waited for Kcwatches to get me two tone datejust 41 with a silver dial but after waiting so long I gave up and got my money back. Then after giving watch m*^ter a deposit on a skydweller in SS I finally bought a steel sub date brand new in black. Reason I gave up on watchmaster they have given me a 5 month window when they will get the watch and I don't mind the wait but I don't believe they will sell it for list price. I did ask the question on here but no one replied. Anyone that has the SS sky d is asking for big money. A few more quid and one can buy a used sky d in gold. I don't think it's plausible but what do I know.
Anyway, I have one quick question I've checked how my watch is running, it loses around 2 seconds by nighttime and if I leave under pillow face up it catches up to bang on by morning. It did the first night anyway after that it just seems to lose a little more no matter how I lie it down. What am I doing wrong? Does anyone know how to speed it up? I mean how to position is overnight so that it can speed up that little bit.
Thanks in advance. Any help appreciated. It is the current sub date 2017 model.
