I've had my Omega Seamaster Pro (Q) for 20 months now and it's gained about 46 seconds since I've had it (I set the time according to GMT etc. and have never changed it apart from adding/subtracting and hour come clocks forwards/back which you can do without it affecting the second hand)

That's a gain of 2.3 seconds a month. I assume this is good? (am certainly not concerned, that's for sure, just impressed I think biggrin).

The watch was given to me by my wife on my wedding day and she wants another diamond(!) in a few years (prob on our 5th anniversary), in exchange for another watch for me (am keeping the Seamaster) and am rather taken with the Speedmaster moon watch, will this be as accurate as my Seamaster Pro?

Am also tempted by a nice Stowa Antea in the interim which seem very reasonably priced, are these as accurate? Are they good? Would like a brown leathered simply styled but classy watch and they seem to fit the bill and I really like how they look from their website. However, is there somewhere I can see them in the flesh? Am located in Purley so London is OK but prefer outwards (Reigate, Horsham etc.). Or can I only get online?

Just a thought - you do appreciate the Antea is a pretty small watch? - Either 36 or 39mm diameter & very slim.
The 390 should be ok, I don't have the largest wrists in the world, however this is why I wanted to see them in the flesh first.....
