Roger - that's what I'm worried about lol.

This is the paperwork that came with it. Turns out it cost £21 in 1952 which is a bit more that the £300 I paid. I hope these are of some interest. Pultra Information.pdf Pultra Price List.pdf Pultra Receipt.pdf

Ok another thought which I did encounter once. Is the cannon pinion slipping if when you rotate the hands and it feels very lose then that will be the issue.

I used to wash them out in hot water with washing up liquid. Then dry in tissue paper. When it comes to oilers the finest, which was black escapement/ small pivots, green bigger pivots, red for oiling mainsprings, yellow for grease.

I don't know what other people do, do I wipe them out first with household paper towels, then watch paper, which is just lint free paper, and finally I press some old rodico into it to remove any fibers from the papers. Other than for applying grease to the barrels I usually just use me smallest oiler for everything else on watches. To get an idea if you are applying too much oil assemble and oil a watch, wear it for a week and then strip it down. If you see oil has crept all over the place you have used too much and use less next time. I never realised I was over oiling until I stripped down a watch I had previously serviced when first starting.

Normally it is a positional error. Did you test the watch in all positions. Some wear a watch crown up some wear dial down some remove the watch at night etc etc. I have found the biggest culprit is the balance end shake is to great. If so and if you have the correct equipment you can adjust the lower jewel setting with fractions of a mm making a huge difference. Side shake is another head ache altogether.

Why don't you wear it yoursef for a week to verify first what you're being told.
