Agree with Tom, a timegrapher shows more than regulation. Such as beat error. Also with a timegrapher you can regulate in different positions to get a better average. -

Thank you that was an interesting article. I definitely could have pushed the battery in too hard, thus shorting it out on the case. The 'switch' on the keyless works is another possible candidate as the movement is slightly loose in the case and something on the dial side could be shorting as well. I will probably need to dive in to giving it a service and try and overcome some of the problems as the article author did. -
Best is to combine the 2, timegrapher regulation 48 and 72 hours after servicing then wear for a week to confirm or return to regulation as you have done above.
