Speedmaster Pro - Sulking
This is one of the things I like about mechanical watches, they have character. I have to say upfront that I am not too hung up about accuracy, if my watches are within a 10-15 seconds a day I am ok.
So now I can say my speedmaster pro is an attention seeker. I wind it up, strap it to my wrist and face the day. Check its accuracy later and hell, its within a second a day. I kept it on for another day and it was still within a second. Then I saw my seadweller staring longingly at me so I took the omega off and wore the seadweller. Checked the omega the next day (I did wind it again) and it had lost 5 seconds! It wants to be worn or it sulks lol. Just kidding, I suspect wearing a mechanical watch vs. winding and leaving it on the table will result in different accuracy.

I heard there is positional variance in accuracy on mechanical and with movements of the wrist all day,may be those variance would cancel each other due to various positions and result in better accuracy on wrist...although may be a stationary positions can be found that results in beat accuracy but that's immaterial as long as the watch is good on wrist...and yes,I also think that watches sulk when not worn, seeking attention...thats so sweet. :)

It's an extrovert and just wants the attention
