New SKX007 running fast

Just picked up a SKX007, noticed it's running 40 seconds fast a day.

My question is, are these watches easy to adjust the accuracy. I don't expect Rolex like accuracy but can live with 10, 15 seconds a day fast.

Around $25 on tools from Amazon and 20 minutes on Youtube will enable you

The accuracy should be easy to adjust, just buy a case back opening tool, and then use a toothpick (literally) to move the lever that changes the usable length of the hairspring

If you see a video about it like Adam suggested, you’ll know what lever I’m taking about

It has a positive sign (+) on one side and a negative sign (-) on the other

Then you move the lever to the negative side to slow it down

Put the watch back on for idk, maybe 2 weeks

Get the average seconds per day again

Then repeat until you’re happy with the result!
