Correcting daily Offsets

This is for you perfectionist out there that are curious about accuracy.

I got my SMP007, mechanical of course, for about a year and a half now and just lately I begun measuring the accuracy of the watch. I have always worn the watch on a daily basis under normal activities. I've noticed that when taking off the watch at the end of the day, the second hand was just as accurate as when I put on the watch in the morning. The offset of the watch is caused when I am not wearing the watch. I realized that placing my watch on its back during night gives it a plus three second gain. Yet, if I place the watch in a vertical position through night, it loses three seconds. Hence I alternate positions every night to account for each last night's gain or lose. Every watch acts differently so experiment with yours to see which works best for you. Also, you can refer to back to FAQ on accuracy.
