A few minutes fast is usually due issue with the hairspring, dirty, magnetised, any issue that shortenes the working length of hairspring. Auto bridge must be taken out to remove cock- balance assembly, then there is a good chance cleaning hairspring would suffice. -

Does the $/watch work out to a 404 motherlode? -

As gpraceman noted above, one of the differences appears to be hardware. Specifically, AmScope uses handles on all of the adjustment points, and one way costs are cut is to replace those with grub screws. That's easily remedied, as he also showed. Marketing budget is definitely another cost differentiator though. For my money knowing what I know now, I think I'd upgrade the hardware out of the McMaster catalog, and pocket the difference for 404s. -
