GMT IIc Regulation

For some reason, my GMT IIc is only slower when the watch is vertically positioned (12 towards the sky, 6 towards the floor). Both face up, crown up/down are faster.

Does anyone know if this is normal? Or could there be an issue with the hairspring or something?

Thanks!

Positioning can vary, and doesn't have so much of an effect on the current gen of movements. My GMTC runs a tad slow in every position except dial down, it speeds up a bit face down.

I figure as long as there is one position it keeps reasonable time in, no need to have it regulated. The watch has to face in some direction when it's sitting.
