I've proudly worn my 3570.50 almost daily since I purchased it new in January and I love it. I wind it every morning, but the darned thing loses about 15-20 sec/day. I realize there is a reason this watch doesn't carry COSC certification, but geez... My Zenith Daytona and GMT-C stay within about 3 sec/day and I'm used to that level of accuracy.

How accurate are your 1863 movements? Do I need to prepare for separation anxiety and a long trip to Omega Service, or is that just the way it is?

Get it regulated. It should not be off that much. They are pretty accurate movements and can run easily within COSC specs. Mine runs about +2 per day.

yeah just get it regulated especially if it's take a big drop or hit. People might suggest magnetization but this watch has a protective covering so I highly doubt that.

Mine was doing the same, I brought it to the AD and they sent it in to Omega and fixed it. It took 4 weeks to get it back.

I talked to the authorized dealer in Houston this morning. He asked whether I take it off to sleep, and what orientation I lay the watch down. He suggested laying it crown-up and crown-down for a week or two to see if that makes any difference. If it works, it saves the time lost for unnecessary service. If it doesn't help, it hasn't cost me anything but minor delay in service. He gave me the phone and address for the service center in NJ.

My Rolex automatics keep time just fine laying face-up. My quartz watches keep time within a few seconds a month no matter how they're laid down.

Overnight positioning will not have that much of an affect on the rate (-15). Omega lists it's accepted rate differential as -1 to +11 seconds per 24 hours, so I would definitely get it regulated. If you have an Omega boutique in your area, try them first before sending it to New Jersey.

Since it's still under warranty, I'm more inclined to let the service center handle this.

My Speedy is -13 seconds slow, it doesn't really bother me much. My Datejust is a steady +1 second every day and my Seiko Sarb033 is +3 secs a day. I never really need to be that accurate as I usually only wear the Speedy on weekends. If it bothers you I say get it regulated, but it wouldn't bother me.

Wait... how did I click on this thread, 2011, haha my cat ran over my lap before must have somehting to do with it.

Mine losses about 3 secs a day, but I find if you wind it up every other day it tends to gain, so I can self regulate it. Try winding it every other morning , you might find yours gains a bit as we'll so your overall loss might not be so bad
