Hi Eddie,
I am so sorry to hear about this. I will try to get my wife to make up her mind about which J12 she wants so we can get our order to you soon.
Thank you so much for taking care of us.
Over the next 4-6 weeks it will definately settle down a bit but the question is how much? 4 minutes is a lot.. Either way, after it settles you will want to regulate it but each movement will have limits on how far it can be regulated.
I will let one of our more experienced members comment.
That may be true. I was talking with a friend at my local Rolex AD recently and she said she was having problems keeping date subs in stock.
Maybe it's the summer watch?
