: Hi All, I am the recent owner of a mis-size Speedmaster
: Automatic and am checking it for accuracy, I have a radio
: controlled clock that I am checking it against, it seems to
: be losing 10 Secs a day, does this seem to be a lot?

Read the zOwie Fine Wristwatch FAQ topic on accuracy.

If your watch has a COSC-certified chronometer movement, then 10 seconds per day is a little high. If your watch has a non-chronometer movement, then 10 is not unreasonable.

Yes, it can be adjusted. But give your watch a couple of months to settle in before you consider having it adjusted. Otherwise, you may end up making it worse!
