I know that a new watch needs some time to settle before it start keeping good time.
I have bought this new AT and just arrived here 4 days ago. I own few other automatic watches. SMP started to keep great time right out of the box with +1 second or less a day. and all the others were running faster for the first month, but only about +3~5 seconds a day out of the box and now, they all settled to +1~2 a day.
now, as far as I understand from you guys in this forum, is that the watch usually runs faster at the beginning and slows down after a while. my new AT is losing about a second every 2 hours. so in 24 hours, I am losing about 15~20 seconds everyday for the last 4 days since I got the watch. the watch is wound fully often and I think I have enough watches to know how to treat the watch well.... is this something I should be concerned about? or I still have to wait for couple months to find out how it settles?
thanks for your advice!
