: I'm losing between 4-5 seconds a day/night on
: my watch.
That is reasonable.
: i know chronometer standards are that it gains
: up to 6 seconds a day, loses up to 4 seconds
: a night; is this assuming that you take the
: watch off at night?
Totally incorrect. This is *not* a one measurement for day and another for night. For the full details, read the section on ACCURACY here in the OWNER'S ZONE.
But the quick answer is that Chronometer specs means that the watch when properly adjusted [important point] should, on average [anothe rimportant point] gain no more than 6 or lose no more than 4 seconds per day.
: also, if i move my wrist back and forth,
: there's a sound of something moving around
: inside the watch case.. is that just the
: rotor, or do i need to be worried.
It is the rotor. Nothing to worry about unless you have severe rotorphobia.
: Lastly, how often do should i be taking the
: watch in for service?
Every 5 years. Earlier only if it shows signs of having trouble.
