How To Regulate A Watch

[@amoledzeppelin]

Thanks for the tips. The F6922 in my Kamasu settled on +8.5..9 spd, which I didn't like, so regulated it to *under* 0.5 spd (in the all-day-round wearing mode) with the help of a software timegrapher on Android. Really requires some micrometric precision. In this case, only "dial down" position was available to me, but the trick is you want to get the software grapher to show about +5 spd in this "dial down" position, then it will be perfect on the wrist when it settles. The movement itself is extremely stable and shows very little positional deviation, if any. Never saw such performance before. Kudos to Orient!

Very nice mate !! ...... Thanks for watching :)

Great video, very helpful to me in regulating my Orient Mako. Thanks!

U welcome:))

Adjust the beat error first..., the beat error should closed to 0 s/d. Maximum accpetable is 0,3 s/day

[@WizardWatch]

I dont want to make people confused with the beat error , This video need to be simple. But i will upload a video in the future on how to fix this too :)

Great video! Not something my shaky hands will try to do, but very interesting to see!

[@WizardWatch]

Thanks a lot mate :)

Always push the regulator horizontally. Pushing the regulator with the tool vertically is very risky to damage the balance spring.

Great background music.

Thanks man :))

[@danr1920]

Which no machine, each adjustment will take a half a day or a day. I'm going to buy this same watch. Thanks.

[@tantu2395]

Thanks for the excellent video, please let me know if i can do it when the watch in stop mode ?

[@WizardWatch]

better to do that when the watch is running and fully charged then you will know the accurate results during the regulation :))

[@danr1920]

Now that I have my watch, it seems to very consistent 6-8 seconds a day. I'm going to wait until three months before I adjust it. Or I will live it as is.

[@WizardWatch]

6-8 sec a day thats ok my man i wouldn't do it . Only if it will catch more time :)

@@WizardWatchMany who don't fuss about accuracy in mechanical watches that aren't high end prefer it this way and it's okay. The opposite position is lots of fun IMO (if it doesn't become an obsession that compromises healthy aspects of one's life) -- enthusiasts strive to get the best precision that these watches can deliver. Considering that Seiko 5s, for example, can rival so many high end chronometers in precision per day for such a low price -- especially (but not necessarily) if they're regulated -- it seems to me very exciting. In fact, the only reason I didn't purchase the Seiko 5 equivalent of a Rolex Datejust 2 years ago was that it had become a bit too costly to my taste.

Does the movement need to be stopped while adjusting, or left running?

[@WizardWatch]

while running

[@gordogabor]

the stud for fixing the beat error if u make it accurate but u won't fix the beat error ur accuracy is going to be false when u wear it

[@touch_master721]

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.

I would try to find a manual of its movement on the internet, where there should be such details of the regulator. If I didn't find this manual, or found it and still wouldn't be sufficiently confident about regulating the watch's time by myself, I'd try to find a qualified watchmaker who knows how to handle old watches properly. I don't believe in taking uncalculated risks.
