ROC ref. 25860 advice needed
I am wondering if any of you has experienced this. My ROC is losing approximately over a minute per week. It has started about a month ago and exactly 5 years since the last service. Initially, it gave me no issues for about a decade and now I am noticing that it is losing time. It probably needs a new service?Any suggestions is greatly appreciated and thank you all for your time.gb

RO Day Date or ROC ( White/ panda dial)

Speedmaster - See through casebacks
Having read with interest, the enthusiasm members have for their Speedy Pros with official and after-market display case-backs, particularly the 3572.50s I would be most grateful for answers to a couple of questions.Does wearing a watch with a crystal caseback feel different to a SS caseback? For example is it slippery in humid weather?After your initial purchase, how long was it before you ceased undoing the bracelet and gazing in awe at the movement - days, weeks, months or years?Thank you for your time.
