    Hi Pierre,

    I don't own a Portuguese but 4 seconds a day sounds normal to me.

    Just for argument's sake consider that you can have a movement COSC certified doing between -4 to +6 seconds per 24 hours.

    Cheers!

    Hi Pierre,

    Two minutes fast in 30 days is about 4 sec. fast in a day which is great for a mechanical watch. IWC tries to regulate their watches between 0-6 sec. if I'm not mistaken, and that is well within the COCS rating of -4 to +6 sec. (please anyone correct me if I'm wrong). So your watch is doing a fantastic job! Enjoy and wear her in good health!

    Norbert
