I think that if you believe that the watch has settled down, you're in for a little surprise. Mine is now 10 weeks old (bought on 6/6) and it hasn't yet settled for anything.
It started out being a bit slow over the day, with strong gain (4 seconds) when lying on the back over night. It continued with being 3 seconds fast on those hot July days, losing them over night with twelve up, and now it's at 0.5 second slow with very slight gain over night on the back.
I'm not having a problem with that, but the break-in-period after which the accuracy is said to be predictable seems to be kind of a myth to me.

You're underestimating quartz. ;-) Though, you're right. The chronometer accuracy is practically good for anything, and mine has never been off for more than maybe 4 seconds. I haven't had the crown unscrewed for 2 weeks now.
I got a quartz SMP for my wife yesterday, and with it's second hand ticking, it's looking like a zombie. No soul in there. ;-)

Yeah right, until the next one comes along. :-)
I enjoy mine pretty much too, and I expect to keep it for a very long time.

Me too. I wear mine on a NATO, and one guy in a watch store here in Frankfurt doesn't seem to be able to take his eyes off of it. I think most of this authorized dealer's merchandise goes to Japanese tourists (judging from the cuckoo clocks next to the watch displays) and nobody ever returns to his store. ;-)
Have fun with your Seamaster,
