: What I don't understand is how can this watch
: be a accurate timepiece when it runs fast
I had similar thoughts until I read the segment of this forum on accuracy.
If your expecting 100% accuracy, then a mechanical watch is going to drive you crazy. I have come to consider the slight deviations on my SMP as having it's own 'personality'. I regulate the fluctuations by placing it in different positions on the bedstand at night. It stays pretty much on the money using that method, but you have to find the right position for your specific timepiece.
If this bothers you then you may be happier with a quartz.
For me, I can live with it because I really like the 'sweep' hand action and the fact I can hear it ticking away like a real watch.
Just my .04 cents (adjusted for inflation)
