Is there anything I can do? I suspect I just have to live with it but it would be nice to be able to improve the timekeeping.
Can you pop the case back off and adjust the regulator?
Have a search for 'adjust automatic watch regulator' or similar. Give you some starting points.

I wouldn't start off by fiddling with the regulator tbh. If the drop did actually cause the timing change it's probably a mechanical issue somewhere in the movement. Something out of alignment. You won't be able to fix that by regulating it.
Do you know anybody with a timegrapher? Where are you based?

Hi Thread, looking for some advice from all you learned folks. I have this automatic Orient Er2A (link to orient description below).
I've had it for about two years, it's my daily watch. I know that automatics are never going to be the best time keepers but for the first year it was pretty damn good. Unfortunately it got dropped onto grass, so not that hard, and since then loses about a minute a day. Obviously the watch isn't worth much and I can't actually find someone to do the work that wouldn't be prohibitively expensive. Is there anything I can do? I suspect I just have to live with it but it would be nice to be able to improve the timekeeping.
Cheers
