Definitely COSC.  I always prefer a watch to gain rather than lose any time.  It's a fetish!


Have you experimented with your watch's positions for resting it at night?  Not always but often resting a watch dial up or dial down will allow a watch to gain slightly and resting it vertically crown up or crown down will slow the watch slightly.  Worth a try if you do not have a Timegrapher to plot how the movement is really working in different positions.  Rates of gain and loss also vary between dial up and down and crown up and down.  Also, is the watch fully wound by your style of wearing eg activity involving good arm movement or a sedentary lifestyle not putting enough "wind" to the automatic's rotor?

My OP stays within +/- 1 sec per day by just be resting it vertically or horizontally overnight accordingly.

After more than one year I decided to measure, very roughly I should confess my everyday watch laziness. I knew he was always late, but how much? Well, after an unpretentious one-week trial, the results are 17 secs, which means an average of nearly 2.5 se...  

I guess it is!

About one minute in a month, not bad for me. Cheers

As someone who supposedly should know something about watch movements

I would say that you movement is in superb shape. I could not regulate it to better accuracy than that.

Thanks,

Yes, I have often experienced those slight changes even at different altitudes, when I was diving more, or when I was wearing them at night (yes, I use to do so)... I confess that such behaviours are among the things that I most like of analogical watches...
