i know both are factors, or course. but do certain movements, in general, run slow or fast in specific positions? i started wondering this after my recent whining about my credor's accuracy. i did a little searching and found jayhawk's research into the positional accuracy of several of his watches. luckily, one of them was an 8L75 movement like mine!
so i used his findings as a basis for deciding how to place my watch when i wasn't wearing it, and it worked! by placing it face-down for the 3 or so hours i'm not wearing it every day, it actually began to gain a bit rather than losing.
i'm just wondering if all 8L75 movements would follow the same pattern, or did i just happen to get hold of one that had the same characteristics as his? i won't even pretend to understand all the factors at work here, but i'm sure there are some here who have theories or observations of their own.
