Derek-
Your zOwie Seamaster FAQ did mention the clasp problem briefly when it said "a small number...had slightly weak springs that prevented the clasp from locking as securely as it should." This seems to be my problem...I thought this was a problem of earlier SMPCs...oh well.
In regards to a particular watch's accuracy like the SMPC Chronograph, is it a matter of being fortunate to wind up with a "good one" or are all of these watches the same and the fact that one is a lttle fast or slow just a matter of how well it was calibrated when it left the factory. Is this present accuracy state one that will remain or does it change over time? Is +2 seconds/day considered "good"? All other things being equal and knowing the problems my watch has(calendar off-changes at 12:40, clasp springs pins stay stuck in-clasp pops open), with your expertise in watches would you hold on to this watch or exchange it? (It is a new watch purchased from an authorized dealer).
Thank You So Much Again!
Jeff
