My two most accurate watches

are my Omega special edition for the US, gains about +2 per 24 hours. One of my Tutimas, the Yachting model with the Lemania 5100 runs about + 1 to +2 per 24 hours. The Omega sports a ca.3303 movement. Now I have two more Tutimas away for routine service. Both are powered by the Lemania 5100. See what they're like when I get then back. I have a difficult time with Omega and their decision not to continue to use the Lemania 5100 in their Seamasters and auto Speedmasters. I know about the retooling issue, etc, but it would definately have been a major marketing point and customer relations with the problems of the 33xx series. They did a certain amount of retooling, for the 5100, in order to fill Tutima's Germany military government contract. Hyak is savy enough to know not to make the German government and military mad with standing orders since 1985.
