Well my SMP (2532.80) only looses about two or three seconds a day and Ive had it for two years (with only one matienence run back when the inside of the watch fogged up and needed an overhaul). But its within the worst case for loosing time so I'd just accept it as being a nature of the beast and try putting it in different positions.
