how accurate should a swiss ETA be?

Welcome to the forum bud,
First rep so you probably dont know how much of a crapshoot the movements are sometimes. I'd be happy with 15 s/d fast to be honest, as I rotate my watches more frequently.
If it really bugs you, you can open the watch up and adjust the screw or lever to the " - " side a couple of notches and you should be within 6 or 7 s/d.

I've had it since the 14th of last month.. I almost was going to get it regulated but that would of been 100$ and the watch Smith said it was a waste because it might not make a difference.
Anyway if you want a review and pics let me know. I think its the latest Omega PO rep

There are no standards a Swiss movement or watch needs to fall in regarding timekeeping. Only if they are COSC certified or the like should you be expecting - 4/+6 seconds. That's also not to say that non COSC certified can't fall within that range, nor is it not impossible for such movement, Swiss, Asian or otherwise to meet such standards with a simple regulation or service
PS. You'll need to find a new watchsmith if he's charging 100 for that and telling you opening the case affects a watch's water resistance

Having a watchmaker regulate a watch can do wonders for accuracy.
I paid $460 for my PAM029 rep with genuine ETA 2836-2. When I got it, it was running +9 sec/day. I paid my watchmaker $40 to regulate it. Over the past week it gained only +15 sec over the whole week. That's in the 2 -3 sec/day range. My watchmaker got the regulation bang on with the first visit, with no need for further visits to have the regulation more fine tuned. Super happy.
IMHO a rep with a gen swiss movement is some of the best value you can get on the market.
