: Hi,

: My Omega is now one month old. The accuracy is
: good, if i wear it mabi -0,5 sec a day. If i
: place it dial up during the night, the watch
: catch up and gains about a second. Now to my
: question - I've heard about setteling in
: periods where the watch slows down. If my
: watch today is .5 sec slow per day, will
: this mean that it will be maby 10 sec slow
: in a few months? Should I have it regulated
: right a way?

Come on dude, you're over reacting--we're talking about a mechanical watch here--you're watch is fine. In fact it runs WAY below the chronometer COSC daily rate of +/-4 to 6sec. If you wanted a "perfect" presicion then you should have went with a quartz or radio controlled(atomic)Watch.
