Maybe it's because some of you take off your Rolex at night. Oils just oozes to just one side plus the entire watch gets cold. Maybe we should know the night time temps of each person's home who is having problems?
This is why i wear mine 24/7. Just wear and enjoy is my best advice

You think it’s the resting position that might be at fault when it comes to the distribution of oil? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

After all COSC(and others) test parameters are across different temperatures. The notion that exposing a watch to elevated temps are a remedy for a movement that's in a rapid mechanical decline is interesting. Even moreso if a positive result is achieved. I know that mine often run slower if they've been set aside out of harms way in the shade then as the sun shifts to eventually end up seriously baking the watch for a time that it's hard to handle to put back on. Of course this is probably to be expected as the Hairspring will have become temporarily elongated |

I imagine it would be very disheartening for someone who has scored their first real Swiss watch and scrimped and saved for and the full wait list experience and all, to be on the recieving end of it in full when it goes south. We have to acknowledge that it's not such an easy pill to swallow and shrug it off like those of us who have multiple watches to fall back on as if it's just another day in the life. |

Besides, the lubes won't likely migrate to any appreciable extent on an assembly that's actually running or rotating continuously, even with regard to the Oscilating weight bearing. |

People can be mad, I mean I wasn’t happy when my 324 exhibited the sticking date problem, but it’s a hand assembled mechanical device it’s going to have issues. Like you said, I didn’t care about Porsche keeping my car for 3 weeks to find a crack in the fuel line that made it not start a single time. The reason was, I had a spare car. However a car isn’t like a Rolex in that you don’t actually need a Rolex for anything. It’s a luxury item. |

Unfortunately, my AD sort of shorthanded the receipt. It just states sent to RSC for service. I can’t recall completely the details my SA said unfortunately.
It went to RSC.

Do you submerge the entire watch in hot water, or just the movement?

A watch maker recently shared his experience working on a 32xx Datejust. The watch was suffering from low amplitude. The movement was cleaned, lubricated and the amplitude went from 240 back up to 285 if I remember correctly. So does seem to be a lubrication issue, as the mainspring was not touched.

Seriously, why are you so triggered when anyone brings up anything to do with watch accuracy? It’s like your pet peeve. I simply don’t get it why it bothers you so much. And no, you don’t need to remind us for the umpteenth time that there are 86,400 seconds in a day. Or that we won’t be late for an appointment because the watch is slightly off. Oh yeah, and that the watch is a marvel in technology. We get all that. Some of us are into accuracy. You’re not. And that’s life… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I’m all for opinions. I’m not expecting an echo chamber. Differences are cool. But condescending replies over and over again are not the same thing as expressing opinions. At any rate, reminding us a *million* times about the 86,400 seconds a day thingy and that we won’t be late for an appointment or how we just stop whining and enjoy this marvel of human ingenuity does get annoying. That’s my “opinion” too. And have a nice day! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
