Sounds like you've got a winner. Like I said, not everyone has a break in period. Maybe the break in is relative to the amount of time the watch has been sitting idle at the jeweler's. I don't know. Your watch's performance may change or it may not, only time will tell.

: I hope my SMP doesn't need to get 'broken in'.
: I have only had it for 3 days, and it is
: right on the money. I set it with the
: 'atomic clock' as soon as I got home with it
: on Monday. I checked it this morning and it
: is less than a second off. I do not wear my
: watches to bed. They are in a jewelry drawer
: face up. When I am at home (I work out of my
: house) I change watches in the during the dy
: to keep them wound. I need to invest in a
: winder, as I hate having to set a stopped
: watch before I wear it.
