Yeah I would have prefered it to be fast....
Nice score! Mine runs +9 seconds per day, but that's okay with me. I'd rather have it run a little fast than too slow. ;-)

Well I am not an expert here, but accuracy needs to be monitored over a period of time. It might be days, weeks and months. I've not timed my OM or BM though but I know that an ex-mod here owned both the BM & OM which run dead on for both watch over a week.
That said, I think every auto watch needs to break-in at least a month or so with constant wearing or on winder.
Of course it is good to monitor auto watches once we get them in the first few days. Just make sure they are not far too off by minutes.

You're welcomed!
Watch works just like cars. They need certain miles before the engine really shows its potential and capabilities.
Mine is dead nuts until I pick it up and give it the ole long jiggle to wind it fully and it will race forward 7-10 seconds. It is kinda strange. Its about 15 seconds fast after resetting it 3 days ago( wearing it and not shaking it to wind it). Not bad for a cheapo.

Btw, I would not wind it if I were you. :-X Cos the Monsters cannot be wound!;-) You might spoil it if you do.
They can be wound....with back and forth movement or with body motion(wearing the watch).

I seems it has settled down and now running about -4 secs a day....I guess they corrected the problem that some of you experienced with plus 30 seconds 7s26's.....

I started adjusting two of mine. One 7s26, one 7s36. Both were +25 to 30. After a few adjustments I've got them down to +11 and -4. Just bumped the +11 down and -4 up so we'll see. I'm trying to get them to +5 a day or better on the winder.
These movements are very consistent, so I'm betting once I get them right they keep really good time.

i just got back 10mins ago from some dude.. fixed my bracelet.. 1 link removed.. he also used some electronic "device" to measure the acuracy.. he told me that my black monster is running -2/day... i have no clue how that device works.. but if really runs -2/day ill get drunk
