Shock resistance of seamaster 300 master co axial
Anyone know the tolerances of the shock resistance? Dropped my new LE Spectre seamaster 300 about 3 or 4 feet onto carpet. Was not a hard hit, but saw it lost time after. The watch has been a little unpredictable - was loosing about a second a say when I got it, put on a winder started gaining about a second + or so a day. Then after one night, gained like 7 seconds in 12 hours. I then Let it run down and rest it and it was running +/- .02 seconds, then lost about .6 seconds in 5 1/2 hours after drop. This has th new Si14 balance spring. Any thoughts/experiences?

3 to 4 feet on to carpet should not damage a movement but could affect the amplitude for a short time (npi) and it should return to normal.
I would have expected it to speed up slightly. I would just monitor it for a few weeks.

If a 4 foot drop onto carpet damages any Omega, then I seriously regret my recent purchase lol. I cant imagine that being the case. I think it is temporary, like Directioneng says.
