Thanks, guys, for your comments. And Hans, for explaining why my Citizen lost two seconds and not only one. I suppose that this is more likely to happen when the battery has weakened.
I see that the Grand Seiko has a mechanical control for rate adjustment. It's not clear to me whether that changes an internal digital value or an analog trimcap, but in any case it is nicely accessible. The online photo of the A660 movement shows no access to the inside other than by several probe-able electrical contacts. I'm not ready to try to guess how to use those.
Tom, here is an old photo of my Chronomaster on my timing setup. It looks good as new today after being worn for most of 12 years.
Batteries are arriving from Amazon on Tuesday, when I will install one unless something changes my mind before.
