Lucerne Digital jump-hour watch service

[ManSkirtBrew]

Recently got this guy from eBay. My first jump-hour watch, it was too cool and inexpensive to pass up.

A 1-jewel pin pallet movement was inside and it was not running when I got it. Full service (after losing the one jewel past the edge of the screen in my Fixodrop bottle) and a crystal polish later, and it's ready for the wrist!

Fixodrop, not Fixodent, you silly.

That's a great watch! and so is the amplitude

hah I'm pretty sure it's due to the sounds of pin-pallets being different from a Swiss lever.

I feel like there was some talk recently of a forum user here who'd made software that was more accurate for different styles of movement like this. I'll have to check my bookmarks.

You were right first time msb lol. Funny though, maybe worth remembering for dislodged component teeth.

If its keeping time and lasting somewhere around the reserve,  i would wear it.

Dial up is where a watch spends most of its time, most of its wear would be in that position. What are other positions like ? , that amplitude is high if its correct. I often wonder if these high amplitudes contribute to excess wear and should they be reduced  @JohnR725
