Power reserve issue ?
My newly bought FC 44mm is losing time when not worn. Wound it 40 times and wear it for a day it keeps time perfectly however when I left it for the bed it has lost 15 minutes in approximately 8 hours.

First Post And...Incoming!
This is my first post. Thank you to all of you here for the great wealth of information over the last two months or so! After lurking/researching/learning, I headed to my local AD on Friday to see models in person, though I was pretty set on a Sub no date.When I arrived, and before I could even fully ascertain whether they had a Sub not date or not, I noticed a GMT Master II BLNR in the case and was immediately drawn to it. I liked it so much more in person than I realized I would.Just like that, I own my first Rolex. Great AD, MSRP price (I got a Rolex Titleist Pro V1 Golf Ball), and a beautiful watch.Thanks again to all of you here for making me a smarter/more informed shopper! Pictures attached.
