Hi

I've service the movement following Mark video (Thanks to him) but he doesn't show how to regulate the watch.

I've no idea what to do as it doesn't look anything I know. I know some rolex movement need a special tool but this one doesn't seem to need this as I can't see this special screw on the balance.

Is there someone that can explain me what to do ?

Thanks

Sorry buddy I keep assuming. 

Most beginners don't know much (as it is right and expected), so we must avoid abbreviations, assumptions, etc.

Another characteristic of some beginners is that they have no fear or problem in attacking expensive, sophisticated pieces requiring special tools. or unreplaceable heirlooms before developing the dexterity needed to be safe. One slip of the driver and the hairspring is busted for good. The safest approach that the OP could do with his watch is to leave it alone for the time being.

Hi totally agree I made this service but I was very hesitant.

And then I saw the very detailed Mark Lovick video on this exact movement So I was more confident because it's a very precise video (3 parts) with every details and steps.  Regarding the service, the watch run as expected but not in time 

Unfortunately Mark doesn't cover the regulation and I must confess than even with the doc I don't really understand what to do. I even don't know if I need the Microstella in the doc rolex reference the tool as 'Rolex tool ref 2031' is this 2031 is the technical name of the Microstella.    

Thanks

      Seitz Tool - Help determine if Seitz or not

      By tomh207 · Posted

      I too got lucky with a JKA Feintaster for a bit under £200, they seem to go for around £400 which I find silly as a brand new one from cousinsuk is less money.   Tom

      Help Identifying movement

      It looks similar to some AS movements, but it's not identical to any I can find. There may be a logo / number under the balance wheel??

      Many would disagree: https://www.rohm.com/products/faq-search/faqId/234 https://uk.farnell.com/c/semiconductors-discretes/transistors/bipolar-transistors/pre-biased-digital-bipolar-transistors https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/bipolar-transistors/8232832P?gb=s https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/bipolar-transistors/0580240?gb=s (RS don't have a specific category, but over 1000 "digital transistor" items).

      Seitz Tool - Help determine if Seitz or not

      Thanks, ManSkirtBrew.  I started looking for a setup like yours and ran across this.  It was about half the price of the JKA Feintaster (depending on what auction you were in), and it's a Bergeon.  I bought it because I thought the price was fair (eBay - Buy it now), and I'm a sucker for vintage tools. It also has a table, so it should be easy to use for measuring jewels. I wonder if the the contact points can be changed out. Bergeon seems to manufacture new tables and accessories for the contemporary dial version. What do you guys think of it? I'm sorry this post seems to have taken a detour. I'm new here so let me know if I should start a new topic.

      Winding pinion making

      By nevenbekriev · Posted

      This is a flying cutter, usual one. The cutter itself is shown in the pictures in the first message, it is made of broken tungsten carbide drill bit. I asure that all the angles of the cutter are as they should be. I have video - little older one - that I made when onse making the same kind of winding pinion for a Poljot 2200, which is even smaller than this one. It is not easy to see in the video, but the tool rest moves about 1mm towards the object in Y direction and then returns back untill cutter is rotating. Then the spindle is rotated one tooth ahead and everything repeated untill all teeth are cut.
