Well, I FINALLY found a position that loses some time....standing the watch with the six o'clock on the bedstand with the 12 o'clock straight up. It lost 2 seconds last night. I'm hoping I have figure out a way to net around +2 to +4 (then I could just set the watch one a month and I would be accurate enough.

By the way: Can any good jeweler regulate the watch and just tweek it a little bit so that it normally runs a couple of seconds slower? Or, is it a bit of a crap shoot?
