Co - Axial GMT

Hi,

I have purchased a Seamaster Co-axial GMT and have had it for about 9 months. I am overall happy with the watch and understand that by putting it in different positions overnight helps to maintain almost perfect accuracy.

One thing I have noticed though is that every so often the effect of putting the watch in this position seems to change.

For example, 3 months ago my watch would put on 5 seconds during the day and then by leaving it face down overnight it would lose roughly 5 seconds.

I then noticed that by putting it face down about 1 month later it was not losing any time.

I then discovered that leaving it face up it would add about 8 seconds over night.

Now when I leave it face up it gains nothing, but has started losing aout 4-5 seconds a day on the wrist.

Has anyone else had similar experience and is this normal?
