As it is your watch the answer is yes! When regulating a watch for someone else there's no way we can tell in what environment the watch is used and how often the wearer of the watch will wind it. In that situation, a timing machine is a handy tool to get close to something that likely will be acceptable. As indicated by @tomh207 and @clockboy a timing machine is a great way to quickly determine the health of the movement. If you are considering a Weishi I'd recommend the 1900 model over the 1000 model as the 1900 has a gain setting. These machines work well but aren't foolproof. If you want something more advanced I'd recommend the PCTM software from @praezis. -
Hi guys, I am completely new to watch making and currently I am iterating on my cleaning process to get it right. My current process is a 3 step cleaning routine in an ultrasonic cleaner and drying afterwards in a food dehydrator at 45°C. 10min wash with Elma Red 1:9 at 58°C 5min rinse in distilled water 2min rinse in IPA 99% 10min drying in a food dehydrator at 45°C I have an old ETA 2842 which I use to test the process and the cleaning in general works pretty good...but I found one strange thing during one run I did yesterday. After the 10min wash cycle in Elma Red 1:9, the bright silver balance shock jewel metal housing colored black. Do you have an idea what happened here? Thanks, best regards Michael -

I don't know if its pushing it in too far, but because the available batteries do not have a raised contact, clear of the case? I'm not keen on the idea of soldering to a battery, but possibly stick a small washer or similar metal spacer on with conductive paint or adhesive, plus a nylon washer around it? -
Agree with Tom, a timegrapher shows more than regulation. Such as beat error. Also with a timegrapher you can regulate in different positions to get a better average. -
Welcome Bob, enjoy the forum.
