Folks, I''ve seen MANY post here and elsewhere from folks complaining of their Rolex watches running slow. Here''s the way to rectify the situation and the likely reason most people have slow-running Rolexes rather than fast-running Rolexes.
Per Rolex instruction sheet:
"If your watch loses or gains a few seconds per day (remember there are 86400 seconds in 24 hours!), you can correct it without expert aid. The rate of a watch varies slightly depending upon its position. Take it off at night and place it as follows:
1. To gain a few seconds: Lay the watch flat with the dial uppermost (pointing toward the ceiling).
2. To lose a few seconds: Lay the watch vertically (on its edge) with the winding button facing downwards.
3. To lose rather more seconds: Lay the watch vertically (on its edge) with the winding button uppermost (pointing toward the ceiling)."
Since I suspect most people leave their Rolex on its edge more often than than its back when it is at rest, the watch loses time overall, and thus runs slow. I hope this helps clear things up (and it works) and makes people more satisfied with their Rolexes.
