New PO accuracy

Hello!

I posted a few messages a few weeks ago and ended up buying a Plant Ocean black 42m SS. Thanks for the help, wanted to post some pictures but couldn't figure out how.

Anyway, I like the watch a lot, as seems to be the case with all others that have have bought one.

There is just one thing, it runs abount 5 seconds fast per day, whilst I seem to read other 2500 co-axial movments are running between 0,3 and 1,5 second per day +/-. I know +5 is within the +6 COSC limit but was expecting a bit more accuracy.

Also read that watches have a run in period, would it be likely it becomes slower, not faster? Can anyone share their initail accuracy experience with omega 2500 co-axial movments? Thanks.

Erik
