SMP Break-In Period ?

O.K., thanks partly to the comments on this board I now own a SMP (Bond) and am delighted with the watches quality so far. In the first 5 days I noticed the accuracy seems to be around +3 or +4 seconds a day (best case, trying some different positions at night also). I know crono's certifications are -4/+6 and I am well within that, but others on this board have posted after break in many movements accuracies improve quite a bit. My question is, How long of a break in period is usual for this watch and what are the real chances of improvements in accuracy. How much improvement should I expect or is 'What I got, What I got' :) Thanks for any answers.
