As if we couldn't tell :-)
In some ways the 7s26 and 4r36 are kind of nice, in that you can often find a position to rest your watch at night so that the daily gain is averages out to zero. But some people with a GS get +9s and can't do anything about it. (They actually promise -1 to +10 when cased, for 9S65. Kind of disappointing.)
How very true, having such a fine GS and observe it do +9s or +10s per day would be disappointing.
This is completely individual of course, but I'd really want such a watch to be regulated to be somewhere in between 0 and +4s, taking owners wearing habits into account...
A bit silly how a few seconds can make a difference in one's perception of such an object! Even knowing that the precision is there, still...
Luckily I can properly regulate my watches but not everybody can easily do so these days. In view of this, pushing the 9s65 spec to +10s when cased really seems a bit excessive...
