I know it is no big deal but I don't want to know my watch is not telling the correct time, when it can be regulated to more precisely. Its like wearing a fake watch you know it is not the real macoy.
Well my advice is leave it well alone and it take a few seconds to hack movement to correct this very very very tiny deviation.And if you do get it regulated it dont necessarily mean it will perform same on your wrist as on the timing machine.And just cannot understand that by just +4 seconds you think its like wearing a fake watch.Its quite simple no mechanical watch any brand, any price, will keep 100% perfect time.If you have one, its one in a million,and yes with very very careful regulation today. Its possible to even get some very humble movements like a seagull ST19 a $60 movement to run well inside the COSC spec.As I have done for a experiment but on someone else's wrist might be totally different its because its mechanical.So when you look or tell the time you quote the seconds as well.If you want that sort of 100% precision I would go the quartz route or radio controlled
