hey

i have just started using the weishi and im struggling on a read out on a old everite watch.

The pics below show consecutive screens.

I am presuming its beyond help unless someone know something i am missing.

I have moved the adjustment timer on the balance and it does not seem to make a difference.

cheers

The instrument is doing his job correctly, telling you this piece at the minimum needs a complete, accurate service.

You are not the only one struggling to interprit tg graphes.

Poor amplitude, fluctuating daily rate, it is not running happy.

Hi Gary I am afraid there is no point putting a duff watch on the machine when trying to understand it. Out a watch on that you know its characteristics and that it is a good one that way you know the machine works and you know what you are looking at. So once having acertained how it works and able to analyse its out put then introduce a watch like the everite and analyse its out put according to the instructions. Its a new toy and will take a little time to understand.

Well you have a range of -102 to +3 seconds/day and I would say that the 'adjustment timer' (more correct term is regulator) is working fine.

If you're expecting a nice clean trace, that will only come with a strip-down, inspection and assembly with correct oil in correct amounts. There are no shortcuts.

Assuming that the watch is nearly fully wound and you've set the lift angle correctly for this movement then the amplitude

Worth to remind that even without bothering to set lift angle, or having a "large" discrepancy of 5°, the amplitude value is not greatly affected and will be accurate enough for making a go/no to call.

Besides the obvious lack of amplitude, I think an important thing to check is to see if stud is loose in stud carrier. Other things to look out for are loose index pin and boot, index, harispring either at collet or stud end, shock assemblies, as well as condition of the pivots.

I'd think anything loose there would show an irregular beat error (spacing between the lines).  That really looks like the good part here.

      1972 Bulova President "E" Sea King 11ACACB movement

      Unfortunately I'm not that lucky. I started on the train side and after I noticed the binding I pulled everything out except the driving wheel to rule everything else out. It still binds. I'm going to double check that the pinion is fully seated on the staff first, then if no joy I'll push the bridge jewel up a fraction of a mm. Fingers crossed!

      Thank you for the advise!! It worked. The setting screw was a lock/unlock to remove the rotor.

      I have that French tech sheet too, it is a little different than the English one (eg, it doesn't have the auto works diagram). BTW, it looks like you are looking up the case number in the 1979 ABC supplement. The 1974 ABC catalog does have the 3093 case. As you determined it takes the 1222-5 crystal.  When I serviced my President 'A' (which also takes that crystal), I was able to fit a 29.8 crystal from my DPA crystal assortment. Those are, in my opinion, a great deal. The assortment comes with 10 sizes each from 27.8mm to 32.4mm in 0.2 increments. I pretty much use them for any non-armored crystal that takes a high dome crystal. I think they no longer make them but Cousins has still has some in stock but when I bought them they were around $40 for the set and now they are around $100. Still, at 40 cents a crystal it's still a good deal. For the large driving wheel, I remember I once assembled the keyless/motion works first and when I placed the large driving wheel it was interfering with the setting wheel on the dial side as the teeth were not fully meshing and it wouldn't fully seat. If that isn't the issue I got nothing and am looking forward to see how you solve it 🙂

      Not sure, but just looking at it, it seems like the screw on the right may be a fake? The one on the left may not be a screw in the regular sense at all, rather a 2 position device, I think you need to point the slot towards either of the 2 dots and one will secure and one will open. Like I said this is just my best guess looking at the pictures.
