Seiko 5 accuracy over a week

Hey fam,
was testing my seiko 5 SRPD63K1 for accuracy over a weekend, results were suprising to say the least, performed much better than i ever anticipated. Here's the full record
Movement: 4R36
Accuracy(Claimed): +45/-35 seconds per day
Position used for testing: Dial Up

Day 1:  +/- 0 secs --- set time
Day 2:  + 3 secs / change --- +3 secs
Day 3:  + 5 secs / change --- +2 secs 
Day 4:  +11 secs / change --- +6 secs
Day 5:  +15 secs / change---- +4 secs
Day 6:  +16 secs / change ---- +1 sec
Day 7:  + 19 secs / change ----- +3 secs
Day 8:  +20 secs /  change ----- +1 secs

In over a week it only gained 20 sec and highest gain for a single day was only 6 secs and this is out of the box without any time spent regulating the movement I heard online that most seiko 5's gain or lose 20 secs per day, so I think I got lucky, Whats your take on this, is this inline with your experience with a seiko 5 do let me know!!

Lucky you, sounds like you got a good one out of the box.

I have actually had good experience with 4r36 movement, not so much with 6r35, but then again it might just be hit or miss. Thanks for sharing, enjoy!
