Omega Seamaster Cosmic 1969 cannon pinion tightning?

[Purra]

Thank you all for thinking with me on this problem. I just tightened the cannon pinion a little bit. I know its new and I shouldn't have to do that, but the watch is old therefore the center tube is also old. Now the minute hand moves!! I'll have to watch out I didn't over do it and the watch runs too slow, but we'll see!

You're right. As you can tell I'm learning a lot.

It could also be that is slow at the escapement. You could tell with a timegrapher or equivalent application, which is a mandatory tool working with mechanical watches.

Thanks a lot for the link. However I can't seem to find the right one. I think my thread is 0.6mm

I bought a new (digital) caliper and the thread is now 0.8mm. Those I can find!

I was to say there are no 0.6 stems, thanks for confirming. Good move with the calipers, you may not believe that but we have seen people here refusing to spend such little blessed money.
