Omega

It may be my 60 year old eyes, but the running seconds on the Speedy sub-seconds dial seems to have a very smooth running rhythm. I hardly see the “tick tock” motion that I see on other watches with a higher beat rate. I have an Omega f300 electric watch ...

— a bit annoyed that it gains a daily 12 seconds or so in daily wear. Hand wound. Wondering whether it s worthwhile to send it in for service.

If it hasn’t been serviced in ten years, I would service it. The movement can be better regulated than 12/day. My Speedy is a year old and it’s at 2.5 seconds/day which is acceptable. And I wear mind almost daily. Just a thought. Mark

Edit to my post. Mine is plus 2.5 seconds/day. The plus sign doesn’t work, I guess.
