What are your Deviation rates on your Rolex's per day?

[Wooddog44]

Sub recently had a full "seven year service" from Rik D. and is running at a remarkable +.25 sec/day.

DJ, + 2.0 sec/day, very good by any standards but seems "bad" in the comparison.

I reset them both at the beginning of the month and the Sub is always under +10 sec., DJ around/just under +1 minute.

Phil I think that both of yours are fine. My sub varies between -1.2 and +1.2 per day. I've been experimenting with positional regulation and I can easily keep it at 0 plus or minus for weeks at a time. The Watchtracker app lets you check your variance any time and if you know in what positions your watch gains or loses time it's easy to regulate this way.

Just graphed my toolwatch results for the last few months.
No science to the interval, just when it crosses my mind.
Watch is worn 24/7.

I've had 2 subs, a 16610 and a 16610LV. For the first 3 years the 16610 went from +1 to +3 a day and then at end of the next 2 years it had ballooned to +10 a day. Traded it for the 16610LV i have now in 2011 and I am now at +9 a day again. Am I doing something wrong?

My Sub 16800 is VERY consistent. It averages -1.9spd. Which is fantastic in my opinion.

Explorer II + 0.5 sec/day
BLNR + 0.2 sec/day


I am extremely happy with them.

BLNR runs too close to appreciably notice. The older Explorer II, Daytona, and GMTIIs all run fast within COSC, which is fine by me and much easier to hack back to true than a slow watch. The Oyster Quartz is fast by a few seconds a year :-)

I think its a feature to get faster with age! Much easier to live with than slow. So long as its within COSC I am happy.

Mostly a cause of faster is the balance spring getting magnetized over cumulative exposures in our highly magnetized world; near a buzzing iphone or near magnetrons or other EMF emitters on a routine basis? Keen to hear what the experts have to say.

I checked them on my timegrapher every now and then; here reading for 116710LN:




And for 116520:

[Roll the Lex]

GMT IIC is +4 sec/day.
Strange thing is that it will go a month being +1 sec/day, then as time goes on bumps up to 4/day

[Perfect_liberty]

Just picked up a new SubC and I'm at +2 per day.

[up4speed]

My new Sub C is at +1.5/day

[Trystero]

GMT-II: -3.0/day. Accurate enough for my needs

My new sub is +2 ish too (position dependant)

[SS Oyster]

SD43 gained 1 sec over 3 weeks (that’s 1/21 sec per day.

3235 is awesome!!!

My question is, is this the avg for everyone else as well? do i need to bring it in to have it looked at? thanks a bunch everyone!

These are from my DSSD and BLNR

[Kyle3130]

14060M Sub, +0.6s/d

[Chilly Coconut]

Gains under 2 sec/day.

A finer mechanical watch that gains or loses about six to nine seconds a day or about a minute a week has a breathtaking precision of over 99.99 per cent. This is still very high precision, given the fact that the movement is constantly affected by the earth's gravity, metal expansion and contraction, temperature variations, subtle changes in lubrication and friction, shocks, and so on.The fact is that no mechanical watch made will keep 100% perfect time, very close yes but perfect no.The COSC spec is a average of -4 to +6 over 24 hours. Now this new specification by Rolex so they say they further test too a AVERAGE of -2+2 seconds but this is not a guarantee for life its just a specification .So most Rolex are 99.994% accurate what more could anyone ask from a mechanical watch.

This.

Too little to notice.
