Seamaster Pro -Accuracy

I've been the happy owner of an Omega Seamaster Pro Chronometer #2531.80 (the ubiquitous "Mr. Bond" model) since April '99. It has proven to be a great watch - sturdy, good looking and comfortable - definitely a quality piece. I have no complaints about the weight of the watch nor have I had any concerns regarding leaking. In fact, the watch has been through several fresh water lakes, pools etc. with no problems whatsoever. My only concern is that the watch has been about 5 seconds fast per day since new. Is this average considering the chronometer accuracy range (-4 to +6 sec/day I believe)? Should I just leave it alone or have the jeweler tweak it when I take it in for my twelve month service visit? Any thoughts and/or similar experiences?
