I wouldn't recommend that. JLCs are much more complex movements than Rolex.

sorry, what I meant by self regulating was regulating through putting the watch in a particular position every night to either add or subtract seconds. Didn't meant opening up the watch.

I can do this with my two rolexes such that I never need to adjust the watch.  Just wondering if anyone is doing the same for a reverse and what the positions might be.

Just sync you watch to the second with the atomic time website.
After 1 night, check again.
Take not of whatever position running fast or running slow.
Then you can proceed from there.
I believe difference watches placed in position differs in timekeeping.
So u need to DIY abit there... Spend some time and keep a record.
That's what i used to do.
But now I am less anal about it...
