I would not be happy with a +13 secs a day. If I trust the dealer, I would have their watchmaker regulate the movement so the accuracy is improved (provided amplitude and beat error are within normal parameters). Otherwise, also based on how much I paid for the watch, I would consider servicing at a Rolex Service Center to return the watch to COSC specs (+6/-4 or +2/-2).

I’m not too particular about the accuracy because I wear it on Fridays + weekends. As long as it doesn’t affect the quality of the watch

If it drifted from +5 to +13 since you owned it I'm guessing it needs a service/lube.

Unacceptable, it is too far out of spec. Do whatever needs to be done.

Enjoy your weekend watch. Accuracy takes a hit when you only wear it part-time.

It keeps very bad time at 13 secs a day in my opinion, should have just waited a couple months on a list and saved money on the premium and got one within +\- 2 seconds every 24 hours.

But each to their own

Just to be clear time the watch for exactly 24 period and use atomic time. Your post to me doesn't make it clear.

I’ll do it again when I get the watch back

Does not matter where you bought it. Just how important are the 11 seconds in a day? Still 99.999% accurate.

If it bothers that much wear it a week and take the average to give you a better idea how accurate it really is.

It depends on how you wear your watch as well.

My idea of mint is unopened and unpolished

It is not normal, even for a 25yo Rolex.

[GarbanzoNegro]

This is the 30th time I have measures my 14060M from 2003. By then, the standard was -4/+6 secs/day IIRC.

I would not be happy with the performance of yours.

Consistency is one of the most important things with mechanical watches and will run better when mainspring is at peak power-reserve kept fully wound.

There you have it. You will not receive any better advice and information.

I've purchased a Sub from 2013 recently. It is consistently gaining ~3.8s per day and I am fine with it.

They didnt guarantee or market it but ask bas what they were running. Hint it was minus 2 plus 2.

Just an update, it seems like there was a miss communication. What the grey actually meant was that it is normal for the watch to be +-20 secs/day for second hand watches UNREGULATED. So he actually helped me service it in-house and told me it was 3-4 secs/day now. I have yet to pick it up yet. Feeling like a fool now

Depends on what you mean by servicing. A 5 year-old Rolex May be due for overhaul. Regulation will only help temporarily

Service it. My 15 year old 14060M was just serviced and it gains just 1 second a day!

5 year service interval is pretty short.

[Player-VC]

Magnetism might also be the issue as you said it was originally +5-6 and then +17 later. Where do you put your watch at night? Strong Magnet could be found in speaker, laptop, ipad etc. Could affect your watch.

[GarbanzoNegro]

Said it before and will say it again: check your watch. It should be +/-2 spd



Again, the performance from my 2003 14060M
