You have a very very accurate SD watch the most important thing with any mechanical watch is consistency.No mechanical watch is going to be spot on accurate,there will be very slight deviations daily.

Sounds perfect - better than most. I set mine once a month based on:

I read on another post it one of the most accurate sites.

If you want it to lose some time, place it on edge. Try winding crown down. If that does not lose enough time to suit you, try winding crown up.
