I know this has been discussed a lot but I'm curious about something

My watch was running about +10 and I've always left it crown down. Last night I left it crown up and it's +2, I'll monitor it over several days for an average but that's looking a lot better so far.

I read comments that the resting position was for the older slower beating movements and most see no difference so why does mine respond?

In the crown up position in theory the movement should loose the most but it all boils down to how much power reserve is in the mainspring.Plus how well its regulated but don't get too anal about a few seconds out of 86400 in a day.

Position in a modern Rolex does not effect accuracy much due to the overcoil balance spring. Can't imagine and 8 sec change overnight.
