Grand Seiko - 9S65 movement accuracy

[Carrots]

Old thread I know, but I would be interested in hearing any other owner comments on the accuracy of the Seiko 9S65 movement.

I like the idea of a GS, but these sorts of numbers put me off!

I doubt it's magnetized if it's running at COSC specs. But is a service and months away necessary? Can't a GS simply be regulated like most other watches?

My Seiko Prospex Padi runs on average + 3.3 s / day :) It seems that is more accurate and 10x cheaper than your Gand Seiko.

My Rolex DJ II runs on average +1.2 s/day.
