Hello everyone,

I recently acquired a used watch and after receiving it. I gave it a full manual wind and wore it a bit. I could visibly see the seconds hand was a bit fast and timed it seeing that it was 8 seconds fast per minute. After this I thought a service must be necessary, so I put the watch away for the night. When I picked it up in the morning, it was 45 minutes off. Now for two days, it has been keeping correct time and has had no issues whatsoever.

Why might this be? If anyone has any experience how a watch might go from 8 seconds fast per minute to working fine? Would you guys still recommend getting a full service?
