In Response To: My Omega Seems to Have Sped Up ()

Your watch is actually running SUPERBLY WELL!

Realize that the watch is counting out 86400 seconds per day. So a change from +1 to +1.4 equals and increase of merely 0.0004%.

That's NOTHING! Your mechanical watch will vary by at least that much based on simple physical issues as position relative to gravity, temperature or how well it is wound.

Far from being something to be worried about, you should be thrilled that your watch runs that well!

For a better persepective on accuracy, read the article on ACCURACY in the OWNER'S ZONE here on Chronocenric.
