Adjustment to Position is adjustment to maintain the same rate of balance wheel oscilation, regardless of which of the specified positions the watch is in. There are a total of six positions. Unfortunately, the number or the positions to which the watch is adjusted isn't specified for most watches built prior to 1905-1908. Typically, unspecified adjustment to position means adjustment to 3 positions, but there are a number of instances in which it means 5 positions. Adjustment to 3 positions most likely means stem up, stem at the 3 o'clock position and stem at the 9 o'clock position. Watches adjusted to 5 positions include the dial up and dial down positions. The 6th position is stem down at the 6 o'clock position. Since temperature variation is usually greater than positional variation, watches marked to be adjusted to position include adjustment to temperature. A high grade Swiss watch marked to be adjusted usually implies adjustment to all positions. "All" may be 5 or 6 positions.
