Losing time

After 30+ days of wearing the Deep Sea, it has lost a sum total of 1 minute and 7 seconds. I think its a keeper.

Set the date to time.gov over a month ago, gave it a good winding, and just wore it. I don't sleep with it, so I guess I move my wrist enough. . .

Try resting your watch vertical crown up might gain a second or so over night.

I have found dial up or down to be the positions that gain slightly. Ymmv.

here is how u adjust your watch, write this down = be a student.

1. let rest face up to gain a few seconds

2. let rest on side, crown supporting the watch on its side to lose a few seconds

My GMT2C loses 2 second a day for two years. Now it's three years old and it's spot on.

the 3186 is IMO one of the best movements ever. my gmt-c is spot on as well. interestingly enough, my GV has the 3131 but it runs fast (not bothered by that fact, but i will make a note of it when the GV goes in for its 5 year). my sub-c is a couple secs slow over a week, but i will let it settle in = too early to tell.

Actually that is how I rest it at night. I am very happy with it's time keeping, The title was silly sarcasm.
