PUW1563 is the day/date version of the 1561 (date only). I have just measured a 1561 using the old "blob of paint on the rim" technique to determine the actual amplitude by observation, and then putting it on my TG and adjusting the TG lift angle until the displayed amplitude matches the observed amplitude. I get 48°. Not a million miles away but it will have overstated the amplitude by about 20° with the TG set to 52° (I tried that as well for completeness). So with a more appropriate lift angle set on your TG you would have got an amplitude reading of about 240°. -
Ok maybe that's the case - I was following this recommendation from: https://watchrepairtutorials.com/ultrasonic-watch-cleaner-how-to-get-great-results/ Here it is described to do the wash at 137 deg-F, which is 58 deg-C and he tested Elma Red with the described cleaning routine (10min wash, 5min rinse distilled water, 2min rinse 99% IPA). -
My dad has a Citizen Pro master Wingman with a C720 movement in it. He took it to Timpsons for a battery replacement and the guy in the shop said he can't guarantee it will still be waterproof. Anyway it turns out it's not waterproof and now it's full of water. Would anyone know where I could find a technical sheet for this movement? I've tried looking online a bit today but can't find anything! Thanks in advance -

You would at least need to poise through those positions before regulating. -

I have seen videos where the servicing seems of a good standard but did nothing with the case, spoiled everything. Why leave the case in such a poor condition?
