Hey guys. New to the forum here. I have a Batman Rolex. My buddy got it for me in Beijing year or so ago. It looks great and i would say is equivalent to most good replicas i see on here. I have noticed a problem it seems to gain 2-3mins a day. Is there any fix to this ? I have no clue what movement is in it etc. thanks for any help or ideas.

You can try regulating it. Depending on the movement this could be a relatively easy process or a pain. If you have an Android phone you can download an app like watch accuracy meter and it will use your microphone on your phone to give you a timeographer readout. It's not professional grade of course but since it's a free app for the casual hobbyist it's more than adequate.
Theres a myriad of reasons why it's gaining time, but if it has always been this way it may just be regulated very poorly, not uncommon. If you want to DIY it's not too hard, but a timegrapher is highly recommended. The iphone app ones can work, but it's a lot easier to get a $100-ish dollar one from Amazon. The data it will give you will be a lot more consistent. Alternatively lots of local watchmakers may be cool with regulating a rep and there are a bunch of watch makers on this forum, they have their own section.
