Please remind me....

My new GMT II is losing 4 secs in 24 hours. I wear it about 14 hours and rest it 10 hours or so.

Can some remind me of which position I should store it at night....This is like a scientific experiment...

Thx,

Mike

Ok I set it face up and it only lost 2 secs a day instead of 4. That still seems like too much. My Daytona and Sub only loose 3-4 secs a week. I guess I may need it adjusted.
