Tip: if the movement hacks, hack it while adjusting! This will stop the mainspring and minimize the chance of any damage.
Great point, thank you!
You’re absolutely correct, after I ruined 2 Invicta watches that I was regulating, it occurred to me to hack the movement while adjusting and I’ve had no more problems.
@@rogerauclair1670 same problem here. I just order a new movement.
How did you repair your watch? Did you replace the balance or did you use a new movement?
true but if they are very careful, they can keep adjusting as it runs until it is set. Also leaving it for a few minutes allows the movement to settle down.
Wow, just did mine while it was spinning and didn't even think of this 🤦 TY!
Finally someone tells me how. Thank you.
Thanks so much for this, I’m going to adjust my SRPS59 which is currently running almost a minute fast per day!
This is by far the most simple easy to understand video regarding this. So in order to reduce the speed I need to turn the regulator clockwise . My watch is currently running 2hours faster Thank you.
Any one opening the case back may wish to place a poly bag over the back before applying the case wrench to avoid marking the case.
great tip!
Good job Jonah...I can see where this can become addictive 🙂
great video , thanks for the explanation .
Very helpful video, thank you so much
Thanks for watching!
I was rather leery about using a toothpick to regulate my watch, fearing that wood slivers would come off and muck up the watch innards... I used a plastic stick instead.
Nice clear video!
Thanks!
Great vid..
I laughed so hard at the rate after the first adjustment
Really nice reviews on your channel, Jonah! Btw, I noticed that the watch movement at 1:30 is different than the one at 3:40. The little brass colored pieces in the regulating levers was kind of a give away. Good tip (no pun intended) to brace the hand. Just a fraction of a millimeter can make a 10-15 second/day difference.
Thanks for watching! And good eye
Is this the same for an NH35?
I like this job
Dude i love your channel! I am cheapie when it comes to watches. Hoping for review of Invictas, Q&Q, fashion watches brand like Hugo, Lacoste. I am not demanding, just suggesting :)
I appreciate it! And thanks for the suggestion. I do have a Fossil fashion watch review on the channel if you want to check it out ua-cam.com/video/6I4BVq1ZawM/v-deo.html
Nice job
Thanks!
Great for beginners. Remember to tell them not to hit the spring or it is ruined. You should leave the back off and adjust it while on the timegrapher. Slowly just bump the lever a tiny bit always. I recommend cutting a little of the point of the wood or plastic pick off so you have a good flat side to move it. Should have done the beat error while in there. It is not that hard to do being the same on a different lever. I do both. I find changing the ms/beat changes the speed also.
I think another commenter said this too but a great way to avoid this is to have the watch hacking whilst regulating, works a treat!
I notice the time grapher holding the face up. My watch is +15 s/d face up or down. On edge, crown up/down, it is +/- 4 s/d. Wearing the watch is mostly on edge. Gravity affects the balance wheel.
Yes it does- the main reason for the invention of the tourbillon
Why not do the adjustments with the watch running on the timegrapher to monitor the effect in realtime (while remembering position error)? This is what I did when regulating my first watch today (Dan Henry 1970). Took me mere three nudges to get it from +17 to zero. So happy!
I hadn't thought of that... interesting point
You didn't mention the fact that the rate will change depending on the position/orientation of the watch, because gravity affects the balance wheel.
good point, thank you
Ya because that has nothing to do with this lol you sound like a redditor
Hey would , +6 seconds on the rate and 249 degrees on the amplitude be fine or would that need work ?
Entirely subjective to be honest. Personally I would want absolutely no not than half that at +/-3 on all my autos and I'll in all honesty I regulate them all to +2 max "a-la Rolex"/Cosc. My goal with regulation is always +/-0 seconds though as I find it really satisfying and kind of a bit f*CK you to all the big swiss brands... Good luck!
For a NH35, I've read that face down, +7 sec would give you a near perfect timing while wearing it
my lever is already at the minimum speed, but my watch still too fast like 2 second per minute. what should i do?
Sounds like your watch is magnetized
Did you take down the the Duro and the Microbrand related
vids? Not showing up now. Anyway, sent you an email
re Lorier.
They should all still be up, here's a link to my Duro torture-test vid: ua-cam.com/video/4nw5U-q4Sm4/v-deo.html
You're showing a different movement when adjusting. It's probably a 7009 rather than a 7s26.
Hi, why there is no more videos?
I'll be back! I made a big move, got married, and started a new job so I've been a bit busy
@@the1010watchclub Wow, wish you all the best Jonah. 😀
@@the1010watchclub Congratulations! Love your videos. Looking forward to seeing your new content - but totally understand how busy your life must be. Take your time and make new videos at your own pace and when you feel it is healthy to do so.
Take a sharpie and put a dot where you started from in front of the arrow, this way you won’t go back from where you started when you readjust.
While that works, after a few dings and bangs, your accuracy will be out again and that mark you made won't make much of a difference the next time you try adjusting your watch
You cant hand wind an SNMK97
Guys, for any new viewers out there, if your movement hacks, please hack it and adjust the timing so you dont touch that balance spring by mistake when its moving while tweaking the lever. All it takes it a simple slip. Ask me how i know. I ruined my favorite watch
The first little bit you pushed it would probably have been enough.
I never know when to stop 😂
I think 11:11 might have been a better name or even 10:01
Where'd you go man???????? Dont tell me its over??
It's not over! Just in the middle of moving and switching jobs but I'll be back soon! Thanks for checking in
You still out there?
I'm here! More videos coming very soon
Why did you use two different watch movements in this video? It's obvious if you pay attention to the stud and regulator. There is definately two different movements in this video.
lol.... quit while you're ahead 😃
Used 2 movements for the video.. 7s26 and 7009...ha ha..
very cool its clear your into watches but you really gotta get some pocket watches the classics of watches
I've always admired pocket watches but I'm unfamiliar with brands etc. Any suggestions on where to start?
@@the1010watchclub honestly Im not sure on brands i just thought it would be cool to add to a watch collection I tend to just look at reviews on it and look online for well known brands
I tried this on a very cheap watch I bought online that was running -200 seconds! I opened up the back and the little regulating lever was in the "slow" portion of the regulator.
So I pushed it with my spring bar tool toward the faster marker and checked again: +14 seconds.
Okay. I could get it a bit more accurate still so I went to push the lever back toward the slow adjustment a bit and I was a bit hasty and didn't prop my hand against the table top for support and I heard a little "PING!" as the spring bar tool touched the balance wheel and brought it to a halt!
As soon as I heard it I yanked my hand back knowing I may have done permanent damage and the watch resumed ticking away. I finished the regulating and got it to -6 seconds which is good enough for me.
Luckily the watch seems to be no worse for wear so far but there's a reason I tried this with a cheap watch first.
Always a good idea to start with a cheap one... glad your watch is ok! -6 seconds would definitely be close enough for me too
😂😂😂😂😂
Step 1, buy a quartz
Step 2, regret that decision
@@thecanadianpirat3679 Idk why I would regret higher accuracy, but to each their own.
Quartz is superior in most ways but even us quartz guys have some mechanical watches, and knowing how to regulate them is handy.
And it's not really the accuracy itself that I'm after. I just don't want inaccuracy.
@@thecanadianpirat3679
Why? I have quartz watches and mechanical watches in my collection. There's nothing wrong with quartz.
@@mr22guy I was only joking. I have some mechanical clocks at home, one keeps really good time, and the sound of the ticking is soothing. I wouldn't trust a mechanical watch on my wrist, but as I said to each their own.
This sounds like a good side hustle
Hello. I have Omega Speedmaster, very old watch, automatic, and I have this part for regulating, but there is no + and - . It doesn say where is + and where s -. Can this part be adjustet at all? Does every automatic have this part for adjusting it? Now, the watch is in hurry 6 minutes every day.
There are several different adjustment methods that a watch can have. I’d recommend taking the Omega to a watchmaker for service though
