I have found that my Sub doesn't adhere to the "rules" of positioning at all. It's a solid -.75 seconds per day no matter what, even if I wear it to bed. I wish that I could self regulate it but, well at least it's extremely consistent!

The resting position doesn't seem to affect the newer movements as much as perhaps the older ones, but here's a weird thing:

When I got my GMTc after break-in it was running 3-4 seconds a day slow. Within spec but a bit annoying. I tried all the listed positions but it was largely non-effective. Then one day just for the ducks of it I tried storing it face down. Since resting it this way my watch has consistently been running under 0.5 seconds a day fast. I'm now a happy camper.

Hmmm, I don't think that I've ever tried that way, just might give face down a try!

What if we don't want it to gain or lose?

How is this suppose to work. I mean... If you place your watch in these position it just make the watch run faster or slower in these positions only. It does not correct (or adjust the watch) for other positions right?

thanks

My practice is to place the watch at night in a position which offsets some or all of the gain/loss during the day when worn on the wrist.

Really depends on your individual watch. For example, in the crown down position (9H), my Explorer II will run +2 to 3s/d while the Explorer (214270) is -2s/d. Both are +1s/d on the wrist.

I have tried every position described on that pic and the result was exactly the opposite
