Regulating a Speedy Pro
Anyone have any experience regulating a Speedmaster Pro using different positions? I can get my Rolex to speed up a little by leaving it overnight face down. My Speedmaster is running a little slow and I wonder if anyone had any suggested positions, or is it more trial and error?
