Before you take it to someone and have them play with the insides, how inaccurate is your SMP and how old is the watch?
Often, poeple have unrealistic expectations with regard to the accuracy of an automatic or the ability (or interest) of many watchmakers to regulate a watch so its almost dead on.
Your watch performance is specified to be +6 to -4 seconds per 24 hours. The movement is COSC certified outside the watch under very controlled conditions. In the watch during normal use, performance may vary from the specification. Most SMPs however seem to perform well within that spec.
If your watch is running say + or - 10 to 15 seconds/day, you might watch to have it regulated. Keep in mind that non COSC certified watches such as a Speedmaster are ususually rated to around plus or minus 15 seconds/day.
