I think there are a variety of causes and we should not over-generalise.
Differing symptoms...
Many SBQJs are not on the markers. I recall back when the SBQJs were selling out there were suggestions that when ordering from Seiya one should ask him to specifically select one that was definitely...
I've heard this but I can only say that in my experience it doesn't seem to be related to the orientation of the watch, so gravity seems unlikely to be related. Also it doesn't seem to be related to...
