Perhaps this depends on the size of one's collection or wearing pattern. If wearing for only a week the accuracy would be a non-issue (eg. wear a different one each week.) Over a month it would be more interesting.

I tell people that if you have a 32xx movement watch and you’re getting over 2 seconds a day, then get it regulated or even an overhauled if need be. If you get it back from a RSC and it’s getting right or a little over 2 seconds a day, go to an independent reliable watchmaker to get it regulated.

My experience as well. If the watch is outside the +/-2s spec, get it checked.

It has been shown so many times that the caliber amplitudes, especially in the 3 vertical positions, can drop below specs and the watch still keeps very good time but then, after a little longer, timekeeping goes really bad.<snip>

Is the low amplitude merely a symptom? The watch will certainly fail after such a discovery? If it's still accurate.... then why does it matter? (Just wondering)
