The study of the differential rotation law is an important issue in solar physics. Earlier studies of filaments found formulae for their differential rotation at stable existence stage. This paper relies on Big Bear Solar Observatory H-alpha filtergrams to estimate angular velocities of quiescent filaments at different stages of existence. Angular velocities are shown to cover a wide range of values. Likely causes of this velocity scatter are discussed.
