Jkay Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Six seconds a day is considered very good for a mechanical watch. Even a $10,000 mechanical watch. If this bothers you very much, you have no choice but to wear a battery powered watch. You can not buy a perfect mechanical watch. Once a day, pull out the crown for six seconds! Also store your watch overnight with the crown pointing to the ceiling. This position makes a mechanical watch run more slowly. If you do this, it might only gain 3 seconds a day. Storing a watch overnight with the crystal facing the ceiling makes a watch run faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
