The pace of 7S series is tricky, when you don't wear the watch, it's okay to set a desired pace. From my experiences: - 0.0 ms beat error sometime gives a huge position error between best and worst position, a few beat error has a chance to reduce it. - unlike Swiss movement the amplitude is generally low at 180 < x < 260 sounds real healthy. When we wear the watch, the balance wheel is in the dynamic momentum, adding gyro error. These tend to result low amplitude and slow it down. For the general 24/7 wrist setting is about +10 seconds within

[@skycrafts5140]

I've found a similar thing with my NH36 movement. Took a few adjustments, and some trial and error wearing the watch. Wish I'd seen your comment first lol :-) But now, on my wrist there is almost +/- 0sec/day variation, and

[@cac2244]

I agree... at first I wanted 0.0ms beat error, but made it more difficult overall... anywhere between 0.5 to 0.3 ms seems to give me best results, so now I target for 0.3ms.

[@Kingputs]

I experienced this with my cocktail time. Adjusted it for 0 and noticed it was losing 10 seconds per day. Changed it to +10 and now it’s almost always at around +-1 sec per day

[@Epiha]

I love how real this video is, and your effort to teach and show us how to regulate our watches, hopefully you can get a better camera.

[@EscapementWatch]

This is an old video. I did upgrade to a nice camera now. Thanks!

[@atlas9368]

Thank you very much for the instructions. I initially moved the rate in the wrong direction and ended up with -300s/day -- I was not aware how miniscule movements cause such big adjustments to the rate. After a bit of trial and error I ended up with -1s/day, very happy with that.

[@oOoScarecrow31oOo]

Thanks for sharing this. It helps. On my side a use a toothpick with small bumps. So I don’t scratch anything and I don’t move the pitch to much. 👌 Based on how I wear and rest stand the watch on a usual day, I will regulate in those positions. Then for my use, I regulate at 12h for when on the watch stand (45° angle). Also 9h up when wearing walking, And finally dial up for when working hands above the keyboard. And final test, would be wearing for a few days to see how it works. According to my habits I may speed up or down so that on a daily use the average is finally the closest to 0. Even if the time Grapher would say more on a one shot one position check. 👌

[@Downstar]

Thanks for explaining how to regulate my NH35. It was my first build and i was really happy and proud that everything was correctly installed on the movement and i didnt screw up things hahah.Then i noticed that my watch was off like almost 10 minutes in 24 hours. I tried to check the beat error and the rate with an app on my cellphone. i know its not the most accurate. But it it didnt even give me results. The app couldnt handle my rate some how. and if it showed me some results is said 999 S/D. Then i picked my 2th NH35 movement i already had bought for an other build and tried in on the app and it gave me results like 37 and 1,2 beat error. So today i tried to regulate it like in your video and i have just pushed it to minus and now its gave me finaly results, First attempt 309 S/D 0,5ms. Second attempt 39 S/D 0,4 MS, Third attempt i pushed it a bit to far and got -96 S/D 0,6 ms again and now i got a result of -8 S/D and 0,5ms. So thats seems alot of inprovement to me. Will check if my watch isnt going to be like +10 minutes in 24 hours off ;)!

Wow amazing vs once I did a minuscule beat adjustment on a 7S26C and it caused a noisy beat never to be recovered. Problems are you cannot buy genuine balance spring assemblies & escape levers so this watch is scrap and I've learnt to live with how they operate ex 🏭 factory and enjoy as you need way more watch making skills than a hobbyist could ever learn when unexpected things happen. So you that have skills & knowledge 👏 you are all amazing!

When a movement "hacks", like this one, it is good practice to stop the machine before regulating, so as to undergo less risks of damaging the spiral.

I think that is a good idea incase you nick the balance it may help out not getting tangled!

One week later after adjusting multiple times the speed of the 4R35 in my King Samurai (SRPE35K1), I've finally hit the "sweet spot", and now it runs with only between +-5 to 10 sec. per day! I highly recommend you do it yourself with your own wristwatch tools kit.

[@EscapementWatch]

Great to hear!

[@DaiLoo888]

Mine is king samurai also, but it is not - 35 to + 40 / perday, not that much, isn't it to risky to open and close the watch oftenly, it will wear the seal on the watch? I dont mind to have time gap, in the end you have to regulate again when it changing again next next years to come

[@jojojeep1]

No hand winding is not a big deal, but you need to put that watch at different angles and see if it still stays at zero, but I would be happy with what you did you need to learn your watch if your watch is going to be off a minute a week well every week You move your watch a minute slower ,you got to work around things, like the sights on a gun if it shoots low you aim high

[@MarcraM82]

It's not an accurate way to regulate a non chronometer movement like this because you have only regulated in face up position so the 0.0 seconds a day means nothing to the accuracy. The proper way to regulate a movement like this is wear your watch for a week and measure if it runs fast or slow while wearing, and then measure each position at night (dial up, crow down, ect) then choose one overnight position and adjust as close as you can to that measurement of wearing + one positional change. Doing it your way means the watch could be incredible fast or slow when wearing and then even worse while not wearing. So for a basic example if your watch is running 5 seconds fast a day while wearing, and 10 seconds slow in a crown down position you would regulate only the crown down to -5 seconds (or whatever the average loss or gain is) Therefore achieving as close 0 as possible in the 2 positions the watch will be in mostly throughout the day.

[@EscapementWatch]

Thanks for your input! I understand i was going to do a positional variance video in the future and how I like to account for it. But just for kicks. my skx mod has an nh36 doing 0, 4, 1, 0 in 4 positions. So sometimes you dont have to think too much about it.

[@dimbulb6443]

@@EscapementWatch If you want an accurate watch, buy a quartz :P. My Seiko (6R15) is the most accurate, ranging +- 4s, but averaging at about 0 seconds over a month. It truly doesn’t seem to lose or gain time. My Stowa (Unitas 6498) is the most precise ranging between +3.3 and +4.5s, but not the most accurate. I guess the Stowa could be regulated to further it’s accuracy, but considering it’s not hackable, I don’t mind.

After I changed my dial and hands to mod my Seiko, I noticed that the time was way off like 5 minutes slow per 8 hours. I probably messed up the setting while touching the movement. Although I don't have a timegrapher, I was able to tweak it around (observed for 5 minutes after each tweak) after watching your video and now I got to a point where I am seeing no gain or loss after an hour. Probably still not as accurate as 0 beat error but this is fun and great! You saved me $50 😁😁

I have a Seiko 7s36 watch that is out of synch and gains time too quickly, looks like it needs slowing down. My son dropped it when he was young and I think that's where the problem started

[@alihaydarerdogan8257]

I bought Invicta pro diver last week. It has NH35A movement. It runs 12 seconds slow everday. Is it normal?

[@thechosenone236]

So now that I know how to regulate the movement, if you change its position (e.g. vertically) and you adjust it, aren't you undoing what you did in the first position?

[@EscapementWatch]

Yes! you might get lucky like my skx which in 4 positions is basically the same. *NOT COMMON* so you have to take an average of the 3 main positions. Dial up. 12 - Down and crown up is the last and least critical its basically when holding your phone your crown is up. get the average after 30min in each position and then regulate to that. number. So for a customer the other day his nh35 would vary by 7-12s in the main positions. so I did dial up +7s and 12 down -7s. They are reporting about 0s a day on wrist. So this is just a way to dial it in at first and most likely get it way better then it was from factory. make sure you have a steady hand. if you hit the balance spring you may kill the balance and need a replacement.

[@octavianmager]

hi. i see that you adjust the beat error also towards the plus, even if you had to lower it to zero. how come?

Hi! I have a Spinnaker that runs on an NH35 movement and I'm troubled by an issue. My watch runs wildly.

Hi Quick questions. Your NH35A says Seiko underneath, but mine says nothing. The stamping on my rotor also looks thinner. It gains about 13 secs in a day, which is within specs, but enough to be annoying. It’s a cheap Aliexpress homage, but I love everything else about it. Do you think the movement might be a fake?

[@EscapementWatch]

Yes 6r35 is the same

[@WristWatching]

Really informative video, thanks for sharing the knowledge! The camera angles worked well too. If it's that simple to regulate these lower end movements to 0spd, what justifies the huge jump in price for higher end movements? Does accuracy drift off faster compared to higher end movements, meaning you've got to constantly regulate them again?

[@cCcMamaw]

Wrist Watching positioning accuracy is often the big difference. With a higher end movement the reading on the time grapher will be a lot more stable regardless of the position. (Dial up, down, on the side...). With a 7S26 the rate, amplitude and beat error will be very different with each position.

[@EscapementWatch]

I find my Seiko's regulating them when they are new is useless mostly. after a month or 2 of wear its better. The results will last longer. Then I'd do a tune up every year. But luck is also involved. for example my skx007 mod is very accurate in 4 positions (which is not common) and its coming up on a year and only 1-2 seconds drift. So with these low end movements. they are not all created equal. you can get a really good one. you can get a really bad one. luck of the draw! hope that helps a bit.

[@WristWatching]

@@cCcMamaw Thanks for the explanation. I definitely have that rate and amplitude issue with my 7S26 and my 6R15 too.

[@WristWatching]

@@EscapementWatch Thanks, that makes a whole lot of sense with them being the luck of the draw. I find the 7S26 in my SKX007 to have much better positional variance than the 6R15 in my SARB033. Seems like you've struck gold with your SKX mod too!

[@EscapementWatch]

yes i did!

[@man8god]

Awesome video- I’ve got an skx that’s gone way out of whack at + 5 minutes or so I don’t understand why seiko doesn’t regulate their new watches when it’s this easy??

[@EscapementWatch]

they produce thousands and thousands of watches each day would be more expensive to hire more people for this and production would slow dramatically.

[@Ba_Yegu]

There is also the factor that a watch movement made with moderate tolerances, i.e. relatively cheap has as brand new some "break-in", which means that the regulation drifts for some time after the watch has been taken to use. A high grade movement drifts very little as new, and most likely has also gotten extra care in factory by been let run for some time even prior to casing.

[@hugybgrl]

If you should use a loupe to regulate the watch, which magnification would you choose?

[@EscapementWatch]

10x

[@wabbitpoop]

How do I know what direction to go with the beat error stud?

[@EscapementWatch]

The further you move the beat error adjustment the higher the beat error gets. But moving the stud either way TOO FAR WILL INCREASE BEAT ERROR! Its hard to explain. Its the time between the clockwise spin and then the reverse counter clockwise spin of the balance wheel. And your adjusting the banking point of the impulse to be dead center. So you want to be in the center of the swing. So trial and error is used to find which way reduces that error. BUT if you go to far that way it will increase it again. So pulling it left or right increases the beat error. And pulling it left or right decreases the beat error. Depends which side of the swing you are on at the moment. hope that makes sense. TL:DR = trial and error

Hello sir,,just wana ask,,some of the videos on youtube says not to touch the big one on balance wheel?is it okay if i adjust it without time grapher?

you can adjust with real world timing. So time it first for 24 hours while wearing it. Then open it up and adjust very small rate. (Do not touch the beat level as I did in this video.) Then wear the watch 24 more hours and time again. Keep doing one adjustment every day until you dial it in. This is the only way without a machine.
