that's too fast, but I'd let it settle in before having it regulated :)

Hi Matt,
I know you've gotten mixed advice on the subject, but clearly everyone who disagrees with me is just wrong (I hope it's obvious that I'm just kidding, there's room for plenty of opinions on the subject.).
My feeling is that it doesn't make any sense to regulate a brand new watch when the rate is likely to change a little in the first few months. If you regulate it now to +2 seconds a day and then it settles in to -2, you'll just have to adjust it again. Why not wear it and let it run for a few months and then have it adjusted once?
+12 seconds a day is a little fast for a modern mid-grade mechanical IMHO and certainly a Speedy can do better.

Too fast

Yes, that does sound too fast for this watch when new, but I would agree completely with John above to give it some more wrist time before sending it off for regulation. I wonder which wrist you wear it on though, left or right?
Speedy Pro gaining time

I wear it on my left hand, and I am left handed. If I get the watch regulated, will I notice it right away or can it still take a couple days after it is regulated to fully settle in to the adjustment. I guess when a watch is new, the main spring must be ...
Sorry

My apologies, I read the post and reread it. It was at first a little (who m I kidding, alot ) above my comprehension. I am very appreciative for your indepth replies and the time you take to answer them. You certainly have been a great source of informat...
Agreed - leave it
By: Rrryan : June 27th, 2007-07:27
I'm assuming this watch was recently purchased new - you didn't specify. If that's the case, I would agree with John that it's wisest to leave it alone for now. If nothing else, Omega's stated spec on their webpage for non-COSC movements is -1/+10 so you'...
