Positioning for accuracy

Ok, someone help me please....

This is related to a recent post about accuracy. Somone was not satisfied with their Rolex (I think it was a GMT) even though it was in COSC limits, and several of you guys that are more intagnl- intelgin- intalgint- SMARTER then me offered suggestions on how he could speed up or slow down the movement by the position he placed the watch in at night.

My Daytona was running over +10 sec a day, so I had it regulated and it is now at about +3. I am completely satisfied with this, but thought if it really made a difference, why not put it in the proper position that would slow it down at night, and make it even more accurate. Right now, I just toss (not literally of course) it on the night stand and whichever position it was in stayed there until morning. So, I asked: "Which position should I place the watch in to slow it down?" (I think it was) Larry, said placing it on it's side, crown up, would acomplish this. I was already to try it when I got another 5,297 PMs from TRFers, telling me up, down, on it's back, at a 47 degree angle to the moon, put it in the freezer, microwave, flush a toilet near it before you go to bed so the vortex of the swirling motion... etc. etc. etc. Although I am open minded, the one about holding the watch in my left hand, standing on one leg, facing East and howling at North star over my right shoulder was a bit much... So...

Can anyone verify, (if it's even true by the way), which particular position placing my Dayton in on the dresser at night would slow the movement down?

Thanks, and as always, Love Live the JJ!
