Re: Seamaster doesn't slow, ever

Both you guys are lucky. My Seamaster Pro (almost a year old) loses about 6 to 7 sec/day if I wear it 24/7. However, if I take it off at night, and place it face down, I only lose about 3 sec/day. Personally, I would prefer to gain a little instead.

: You says it gains two seconds in 10 hours. How
: much is it gaining the rest of the day.

: Sounds like your watch is gaining around 4-5
: seconds a day.

: Although each watch differs, my experience and
: the experience of a large number of posters
: to both this forum and TimeZone seems to
: indicate a tendency for the SMP to slow down
: a bit as it breaks in. Note that not
: everyone seems to have a break in period.
: Perjaps their watches are already broken in
: when they get them.

: My own Bond SMP (2 years old) was slightly more
: than 5 seconds/day fast (worn 24/7) when
: new. after a few months, it stabilized to 2+
: seconds/day.
