I am a rabbi who discovered a fascination with watches following an early interest in fountain pens. As I near retirement age I have dove deeply into this hobby. I have a small collection of timepiece...

My Seamaster is the same, runs more accurately when worn.
Maybe because it's not in one position for ages, or maybe body temperature thins the oils or warms the metal so the tolerances are closer.
Dunno, but I'll stick around until someone who actually knows answers... 🤔👍
Haha, i clicked on your post because i really love the SeaQ (and specifically the panorama date) -- but cannot answer your question. I'll stick to: "nice watch man!"
Two reasons I can think of: 1) when you wear an automatic watch, the power reserve is being maintained. Amplitude in the watch is at it’s highest when the watch is topped off which affects accuracy. 2) all balance spring watches are affected by their orientation. If it’s on the desk it’s in only one orientation. The ideal regulation of a watch is an average of all orientations in your typical daily wear. An example of number 2…. If you put a watch on a time grapher measured in dial up orientation, you might get +6spd, however in daily wear, that same watch might perform on average 1-2spd. If you were to regulate the watch in that orientation to 0spd, you might have just messed up the average daily wear to -4spd.

Thank you for taking the time to write that out. I was just about to do the same.
Thanks to everyone. Makes sense and makes me feel better about the accuracy of this watch. Really pleased with the watch
Awesome!

Hadn't thought of it like that with regards to the 2nd point. 👌
