: With regard to a COSC certified watch,
: at what +/- would YOU, reader, seriously
: consider having it adjusted?
COSC is better than most people need in daily use. What the amount a watch varies from correct time really means is how often you need to reset that watch (once a week, month, quarter, year...) to keep it *reasonably* close to correct time.
It is when that resetting becomes a sufficiently bothering inconvenience that I would send it in to be adjusted.
For accuracy fanatics, it may be even while the watch is well withing COSC specs. For the average Joe, maybe at +/-10 seconds/day. For the collector with multiple watches, it may not matter as they have more mechanical than they can keep running continiously anyway--so are always restarting and resetting them.
One thing to remember, every time your watch is opened, there is a small risk of it not being resealed correctly, unnoticed dust getting inside, or the adjustment unintentionally makign the watch worse. So I recommend considering service only when it is sufficiently necessary.
