Hi everyone, I've been working on this Poljot alarm watch and have run into some issues with low amplitude I'm having trouble diagnosing. Any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated! Originally this movement was non running and I discovered that it was magnetized. Once I had disassembled and serviced it, the movement functioned fine with good amplitude. However, I left it alone for a couple weeks and found it was no longer running once I returned. I've demagnetized it since but haven't had any luck restoring the original functionality. Any ideas on what could be causing this drop in performance? Thanks in advance!

Hey guys.I‘m a watch repair amateur. Recently my timing machine is malfunction. Meanwhile I'm working on some scrap movement with the IOS app called timegrapher. The amplitude reading seems inaccurate and unstable. So I've been thinking can I estimate the amplitude with the slow motion video of the balance wheel？ Is amplitude the degree of the balance wheel oscilate from A to B? Or I still have to do some calculation？ 7abd481838d37a4fb49a6b69233e52af.mp4 7abd481838d37a4fb49a6b69233e52af.mp4 7abd481838d37a4fb49a6b69233e52af.mp4 7abd481838d37a4fb49a6b69233e52af.mp47abd481838d37a4fb49a6b69233e52af.mp4 7abd481838d37a4fb49a6b69233e52af.mp47abd481838d37a4fb49a6b69233e52af.mp4

I have and omega that has been a thorn in my side for a while I have torn it apart and cleaned it in watch cleaning solution i have replaced the mainspring and oiled it before i put the pallet fork and balance wheel in it i gave the mainspring a few windes to check the freedom of the train and i watched the escape wheel and watched it spin forward for a few turns and on the last spin the escape wheel reversed telling me that the train is good and free so i thought no issues there so then i put a new pallet fork in it and put a tested it out by putting a few winds on the mainspring and moved the pallet fork back in forth and watch the escape will spin then i put balance wheel in oiled top and bottom balance jewel oiled the pallet fork jewels so then i wound up watch all the way put on timing machine the bet error is 0.5 and the highest the applitude went is 204 so i am clueless now i have no idea what else i need to test out PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME OUT !!!!!!!
