Hello gents
On same subject, been wearing my 2254, which is the black SMP for about six weeks now. Consistently gains about 2 to 3 seconds a day, but still within spec. Fascinating, however, is that if i leave the watch overnight, instead of laid flat but up on its side (on the HEV) side, it LOSES about three seconds!! Wondering whether if i alternate flat, and up on its side, losses and gains may cancel each other out. Goes to show, a mechanical watch really is a living thing...
