I use an independant near Stockport, charges £100 for a clean, lube and vacuum seal, he also polishes the case, crystal and the band. It also seems to keep better time when he does it than when the Rolie dealer did it last.
The last time I sent the Sub to Rolex they had my pants down for £400 and it still gains time. Anyone know if they keep better time when worn everyday?

Huh, I wanted Rolex to give my wifes watch a much needed service. No they said we don't do our old watches!! Boll0cks its an antique and requires master craftsman I thought. Put me off buying another Rolex for life, I expect life long service from Company that shouts quality from its rooftop.

You need to wear it daily to help keep it accurate so that it is keeping as much charge within the automatic spring movement, they are rated at + or - 3 seconds a day or around that region, if you want a mega accurate movement a rolex is not the best watch to go for a zenith is more accurate movement generally and proven but not as glamorous.

Thanks Walrus,
Unfortunatly I can't wear the damn thing everyday, as it is just too 'blingy' and may upset customers
I recently bought a second hand Datejust for everyday use and that doesn't seem to be much better at keeping time. So it's back to the trusty old Speedmaster...dated.. but a damn fine timekeeper.

Still keeps lousy time though

They all do that Sir
I found that when I was in the uk (at about sea level) it used to gain about 5 mins a month. Then when we moved out to switzerland (about 400m above sea level) it kept perfect time for a few months, now its back to just under 5 mins a month. I know it needs a service now though, if that has anything to do with it.
Just brought a Tag f1 as a birthday pressie to myself, as its quartz it had better keep absouluty perfect time!
You bought a quartz movement and from Tag whats that all about ????
I appreicate you want an accurate watch but why pay the premium of a tag when a swatch, casio would do the job. I appreciate that for the looks and kudos perspective why you would buy one but for me it is a waste of money ?

Why buy a Ferrari/Porsche/AM when a Ford Ka still gets you to where you want to go?
