In Response To: "Positional Regulation" of SMP Auto ()

ask politely for the Chronometer certificate (not the guarantee) and when you get it, it will show you how your movement behaved when it was tested. It will not be identical since it has now been installed in a watch an regulated but its adjustments should still be the same. That is to say that it will have a slow or slower position where it will either gain nothing, lose a little or if all it ever did was gain, you can find the position where it gained the least amount of time. Oh, its also fun to have the cert.

Have fun
