Regarding the 14060, it possible to . . .
. . . regulate a 5 digit sub to current -2/+2 COSC standards?
Thinking of buying a random serial number 14060 but I'd like to have it regulated to tighter specs than -4/+6.

I have my 4-digit Submariner regulated to +15-30s/month.
This is possible if you have very regular wearing patterns. If I rest it in a specific position during night I get the lower number. Note that you might have to go back a couple of times to your watch maker to make the final adjustments! |

On the wrist there are just too many variables to 100% guarantee movement will perform to -2+2 every single day.On the wrist things like the movement is constantly affected by the earth's gravity, metal expansion and contraction,mainspring-power reserve, temperature variations, subtle changes in lubrication and friction,daily shocks on the wrist,wearing habits and so on.Remember this the escapement of a mechanical watch in 24 hours pushes the gears 432,000 times,since a day has 86,400 seconds.So for any mechanical watch to perform to within a few seconds a day is truly mechanical marvel, and I am sure that 2 seconds difference either way will have no impact on any persons life unless extremity OCD. Below picture COSC test use the first column thats movement of Rolex size.

Yes it is possible to regulate it like that. The 3135 is super easy to regulate very precisely with the microstella.

Once cased, if the movement doesn't meet the -2/+2 average it seems Rolex must regulate it so that it does. My question is can the 14060 movement be so regulated. Quote:

And it's not accurate timing that is important, rather an accurate Rolex that is important.

Yes, just a matter of taking the case back off, checking how it runs and then regulate it by turning the small screws on the balance wheel with the microstella tool.

Their recent proclamation that "Superlative Chronometer" means -2/+2 came out without a real change to the movements at all. They are still tested at COSC to meet the -4/+6 chronometer spec., that has not changed. They (hi-beat movements) have almost always been capable of better than COSC..

My non-COSC 14060M runs at less than 1 spd after service at Rolex Canada. It can be adjusted very precisely.

As per previous posts a serviced Rolex movement is notoriously precise and can be adjusted to better than +/-2sec/day.
Since it’s last service my 14060 (K) is now giving me better than +1 when worn about 8 hours a day and if I leave it 12 down from 4.30pm to 7.00am it returns to about 0.
