My 5711 has been running nearly 10s fast near the end of the warranty period when I started wearing it as my daily rather than on special occasions only. Sent it in via the AD this summer and got it back in less than 6 weeks. Pretty much spot on now and certainly within specs. Of course it should have run within specs to begin with.

As far as I remember from the other threads the affected links were the non-removable ones. I doubt those were modified when they moved from screws to pins on the removable links.

Yea I find the regulation for most watches a joke, AP, PP, JLC, etc. never had one run within spec and when I serviced them they ended up scratched up. 6 weeks I’d be ecstatic with. Prob going to let it get beat up a little more before sending it in.
