Omega and Rolex now make many more precision watches per year than anyone would have ever guessed possible 30 years ago.

Human hands play a very small part in the making of these watches, and not every watch gets tested for time-keeping.

This sounds like a simple regulation issue, and if the watch gains or loses the same amount of time every day, regulation should fix the problem.

Personally, if I had a genuine Speedmaster Professional that kept consistent time, meaning, it gained or lost consistently, I would rather have it regulated by a competent watchmaker than not have it for a few months while Omega or Omega's representative regulated it and then sent it back to me.

Now, if the watch gained or lost a DIFFERENT amount of time every day, that would upset me, and I would send that watch back to Omega and, frankly, ask for a REPLACEMENT watch.

An inconsistent Omega would depress me to no end.
