Greg, Not sure if you missed my post of a few weeks ago. I have similar from an Invicta Professional Dive watch. Looks and feels like a Rolex Submariner. I have worn it 24/7 for the last 4 months and it keeps a consistent + 4-8secs going rate.(never varied beyond that range, checked daily).

The Orient Ray II automatic divers watch ( $150 new on ebay ) can be hand wound and hacked. The Japanese made movement will keep very consistent time as long as the watch is worn on the wrist or kept in a pocket to maintain a stable temperature.
