Compensating for accuracy!

I've had my Omega 300 M Chronograph for 4 days now and still can't get over the quality of the finish - I'll post some pics soon just to show it off :) When I got it I set the time to the atomic clock (AC) and each day since, at the same hour, I've checked the accuracy of the watch against the AC - I've found that it gains about a second every 24 hours which I am really pleased about. However I am wondering if this is too consistant - after a month the watch will be about 30 seconds fast (big deal! - I know). Searching through this forum I have seen suggestions of laying a watch in different positions (crown up/down etc) to compensate for time gain/loss which I will try. My question is - has it been established (for this particular movement) what position the watch should be placed in order to gain/lose time?
