https://imgur.com/gallery/1M5tMXB Watch was wound and placed on a watch makers watch winder for about 9 hours- cause for concern or everything look alright? I know it’s supposed to be 24 hours after a full wind but for the sake of time seller just put it on the watch winder instead. Thoughts?

I mean in 9 hours it’s gained 3 seconds so could one not assume in 24 hours it would gain much more? It’s not too late to back out of purchase but I just wanted to make sure

Lift angle is set wrong, so should be 50 degrees, not 52. That means the balance amplitude is about 12 degrees lower than the display indicates. The watch is in a position that is not used in standard movement checks, and at a state of wind that is not used in normal testing. Given all that, I don't see anything alarming...

Dude.

It's a total disaster. He needs to send it to me ASAP or it will take over his life.

From what I read, the OP doesn't have the watch yet...

Do I get a cut? If so, I'm on board with your plan...
