SD Gains During Absence
Is this normal? I wore my SD 6 days straight and get PERFECT time but on Sunday I gave my wrist the day off and today my SD is +3 sec.

It is quite normal for an automatic watch to perform differently when worn.
In a stationary position there is only gravity to influence the movement. That's why positional regulation works. When worn, gravity pulls in many directions, there is wrist movement, and kinetic energy motion...it's a completley different environment for a watch.. If it gains when you set it down, try setting it down with the crown down (or up), it might stay right on time....

Yes, that is normal. As the power reserve drops, the movement will show less good timekeeping. And the tendancy to go faster than normal at low PR is normal, as well.
