I'd be happy with 2 secs

It might take a little getting used to, but this is a very small variance over the course of 24 hrs (it about 99.998% - sort of amazing if you think that something mechanical can be that accurate).

Mechanical watches do take a little while to settle down, and you may find it varies depending upon the day and even how you orient the watch on the table at night (face up vs on it's side). It may get better or even a little worse, but in any case I don't consider doing any sort of adjustment on my watches until they're at least 10 seconds out (and then only if substantially more than that).

Enjoy the watch - they really are amazing timepieces.
