Thank you,M.,I thought it was weird because gaining more hours daily is quite a lot.I'll buy a demagnetising tool and see.If I understand correctly,the worst case scenario is a hairspring replacement? Or is this a loterry and returning the clock should be the way to go?Thanks in advance!

It depends on whether the movement has an overcoil hairspring, free sprung or a flat like the one in the auction.

Gaining that much can only be a few things, magnetism can be checked with a compass, a turn or two of the hairspring clinging because it is oily or greasy, a dirty and gummed up movement will make the balance assembly move fast back and forth instead of a more normal amplitude.
Could of course also be a distorted hairspring or that it has slipped out of the pins on the adjuster.

This auction is not at an eBay but does anyone can figure out what is the caliber of this pocket watch movement:
