Well, I suppose the point I'm driving is that if my company's primary function is to make watches that keep time properly, I think I'd want to make sure that they kept time right from the get-go. Does that not make sense? I think that if there is such a thing as watch break-in, it should be up to the manufacturer to, at the very least, disclose that to the customer. Better yet, let them "burn in" the same way all decent computer manufacturers assemble their units.
I honestly think that the necessity for watch break-in is minimal, if at all. I could be wrong, of course.

PS. In regards to having the factory break in my car--why, yes, if it was done on a dynometer under controlled conditions, of course I would want it broken in. Normally, one shouldn't drive a car over 50 mph nor 5000 rpm until at least the first oil change. Depending on what car you buy, this can be hard to do (try picking up a new sports car and restrain from "opening it up"...I can't do it).
: Your right, high quality stereo speakers do
: need a break in. Sometimes one hundred hours
: or more. But so do new cars. Do you want the
: factory to break in your car? I suppose
: factories could 'break in' watches. Do you
: want to pay for it?
