I just received my new SMP on Saturday morning. It's running about 16 seconds fast in just under 60 hours (which is at the outer limit of the certification range of -2/+6 per day). I've tried setting the watch in different positions on my night stand (as Derek suggested) but I can't seem to find a position in which it will lose any time at night.
So, I have two questions:
(1) Is there a position that will invariably result in a loss of time at night (and it's just a matter of finding it)?
(2) I understand that shipping a watch may result in the need to have it "settle down" for some period of time before it starts running in a regular groove. Is that true and how much time should I expect is needed to pass before I should consider having the watch regulated?
As always, you comments are much appreciated!
