DSSD fast by about 4 minutes after 1 day

[jeffgo888]

Hi All,

the DSSD has sat on the winder for about 2 to 3 weeks now ( getting her rested for the upcoming Cancun trip), but I noticed it gaining too much time.
Not sure why, but it was keeping perfect time prior, when i wore her more.

So, does this baby need to be calibrated?
what does an actual calibration do and does it need to be sent out to RSC?
Or can RSC San Francisco do this? Im assuming it has to be sent to Dallas RSC wherein they send it out to HQ.

of course, i won't sent it out until my trip back.
Watch is 2014, so only 2 years old.

thanks all

Just put it on and wear it as normal.
Monitor the accuracy at 6 hour intervals to get a picture of its current performance on the wrist.
Act according to your findings.

Hope all is well

The winder may not give sufficient winding. As was suggested try it using normal wearing and see how it does. Usually recommended as well is sixty winds prior to starting the test.

Just do not understand why they call them watch winders because all they will mostly do, is just top to whatever the mainspring had in power reserve to start with.So when put on to one of these machines they should always be fully maunally wound up first, thats 40 full crown turns clockwise only.Watches are tested at the COSC to simalate what happens on the wrist in 5 different positions while on one of these machines its just normally one repetitive position, so in many case movement will be different on a machine than a wrist what they was designed for. Have you ever given your watch a full manual wind if not fully wind your watch first 40 full crown turns clockwise you cannot over-wind it.Then sync your watch with a reliable time source for this test any quartz watch will do thats accurate enough.Now wear your watch for around 8-10 hours a day,check time once a day only with the setting source write it down daily over 5 full days the loss or gain.Then average out the loss or gain over the 5 days for a accurate result.Then after test if watch is out of the COSC spec a AVERAGE of between -2 to +4 seconds over any 24 hour period get it regulated.Now regulation is a very simple task takes around 20-30 minutes start to finish,but if watch goes back to the RSC expect 4 weeks before you get watch back.

Thanks.
That would be interesting though, as I rarely wear any one Rolex for more than a few hours a day, tops is 4 hours, and thats pushing it.

Ill wind it 40x and keep an eye on it. Like I said, it was more spot-on when I wore it a lot,i.e., on-off, a few hours here and there, every2 days, etc.

maybe the time will improve once in Mejico..:)
