The line is a visual depiction of the rate. Straight across is 0s, heading down, losing, heading up, gaining. A solid line means the watch is perfectly in beat, a double line is out of beat, with the spacing relative to how much beat error there is. You should ask Witschi for a manual if you don't have one; here is a link to their "training course" with all you will need to know (used to be on their website but not anymore). Play around with your machine in the meantime: it should be set to "aut",, so it detects and sets the freqency, or "man" where you tell it the frequency. There you have it set to frequency, so it isn't giving you what you really want here- that watch's frequency is 21,600. https://www.welwynwatches.co.uk/uploads/9/1/4/3/9143536/witschi_training_course.pdf -
Well there is an issue with Orient. After reassembling it isn't moving! What can affect on it? Thanks for any answers! -
Well i wanted to know what does this line on the screen mean. Moreover, while checking orient 3 stars there were 2 parallel lines, which is kinda strange. And another question, what does this circle trigger do? Thanks a lot!

Hi. Can’t open the vid on the iPad but I assume that when checking the train without the balance and fork in the wheels when run down experienced a little reverse spin (backlash) if so just install the balance, no fork and give it the puff test. It should oscillate for a while under its own tension quite freely 20 secs or there abouts a thing less like a couple of oscillations check the end shake.
