Seiko 6309 Skips 2 seconds every 5 seconds?

I haven't gone through many of the comments. Have you checked the end shake on the train.

My 6309 is repaired and running great. I bought a used escape wheel, pallet fork from a guy in, of all places Kiev Ukraine. Parts were $18 that included shipping. When compared to my original escape wheel the used one was flat (no bend). It was great to see the escape wheel turning as it should after I puffed some air on the balance wheel. The movement seems to loose about 30 seconds in a day of running. My next purchase is maybe a timegrapher???

Thank you every one that replied to my post.

Yes having a timing machine can make regulating much easier. Plus you'll find out if Is in in beat or not. Or basically a tool that was once extremely expensive costing thousands of dollars is now affordable and is an excellent diagnostic tool also.
