    I bought a new watch at the IWC shop in Zurich airport a month ago
    Very fine watch, but my question to the forum is, should it
    add speed about 10 seconds per day?
    Thanks for comments on this.

    First, congratulations on a wonderful IWC.

    My advice is to wait for a few weeks for the watch to, as we say, settle in. The lubricants need to be distributed around the gear train and the gears work their way into fighting form. Often, a watch will settle in to within spec tolerances after a few weeks.

    If after a month, the watch is still gaining 10 seconds per day take it back to you AD for a simple adjustment. It's nothing to worry about.

    Can we get a picture? Interested in seeing the color of the dial.
    Congratulations and wear it in good health.
