Speedy Pro gaining time
I wear it on my left hand, and I am left handed. If I get the watch regulated, will I notice it right away or can it still take a couple days after it is regulated to fully settle in to the adjustment. I guess when a watch is new, the main spring must be very strong and takes a little time to soften (just my guess).
Speedy Pro gaining time
What would you guys feel is an acceptable tolerance for gaining time on a Speedy Pro. I wear it everyday and is off my wrist for about 7 hours. It gets wound once a day every morning. It is about 4 days old and gains approx +12 seconds a day. If this is a...
that's too fast, but I'd let it settle in before having it regulated :)
Hi Matt, I know you've gotten mixed advice on the subject, but clearly everyone who disagrees with me is just wrong (I hope it's obvious that I'm just kidding, there's room for plenty of opinions on the subject.). My feeling is that it doesn't make any se...
Too fast
Yes, that does sound too fast for this watch when new, but I would agree completely with John above to give it some more wrist time before sending it off for regulation. I wonder which wrist you wear it on though, left or right?

did you even read the very long post I put together on the subject directly below?
Hi Matt, I don't mean to get all self-righteous or indignant (traits I certainly find unattractive in anyone else), but I'm having a hard time reconciling the last sentence of your post with the fact that I specifically addressed this issue in a very long...
Sorry
My apologies, I read the post and reread it. It was at first a little (who m I kidding, alot ) above my comprehension. I am very appreciative for your indepth replies and the time you take to answer them. You certainly have been a great source of informat...
apology accepted and please accept mine as well
Hi Matt, It turns out that I find indignation and self-righteousness even less attractive in myself than I do in others, so please accept my apology as well for getting uptight about it. I agree absolutely with Ryan, don't have it regulated yet. Watch it ...
Agreed - leave it
I'm assuming this watch was recently purchased new - you didn't specify. If that's the case, I would agree with John that it's wisest to leave it alone for now. If nothing else, Omega's stated spec on their webpage for non-COSC movements is -1/+10 so you'...
Mine also gains about a minute every 3 days.....
.....but its not bothering me too much. I'll just wait and see how it goes. BTW, Bill the chrono start/stop problem that I had when I received the watch is now OK. Ran the chrono a few times and it seems to have sorted itself out! :~) Thanks!
Spring
The spring being new or old, or fully wound should not significantly affect timekeeping of your watch.
I wind mine fully every morning for the past month or so....
....but i can live with the discrepancy.....for now :~)
