Hi,

My exactly same watch was loosing about 2-3 sec a day when bought it, about 15 months ago. By 11 months of ownership it reached to about -8 sec a day. I took it then to Omega center to be regulated. They did it by two visits, like through "Trial and error", but ever since it has been gaining by one sec in about 4-5 days.(!!!)

Don't give it up, it's an excellent watch.

Regards, Baruch.
