Time Adjustment

I just had my Omega Seamaster Professional Chronometer fixed up at the local AD in Vancouver, but it's running about 4-5 seconds fast (per day). I know that that is well within the requirements of a mechanical watch, but my OCD doesn't want to allow that much of a margin of error. If I go out and buy the watch opening kit, is it relatively safe to adjust it, and does opening the back cause any risk to the water tight operations of the watch?

I know how to reset the adjuster screw inside (I believe there are even instructions on this site), but I just wanted to know if it was relatively safe and if anyone else here does or would like to do the same?

Oh, and other than scoping ebay, are there any recommendations as to where one should purchase an Omega Watchopening kit?

Thanks!
