Time setting on old mechanical watches

Hello friends. I bought a watch from a secondhand shop. I don't care about the value of the watch. The goal is to bring it to life and for me to enjoy it.
The wooden part was in bad condition. Sanding, painting etc. better now. There were problems in the mechanical part. I handled it. Cleaning and lubrication is also ok. It's working now and the melodies are very nice. When I only listened to the working sound, the intervals between tick tocks sounded incorrect to my ears.

I used the software in the photo. What I understand from the software is that the marked area should be close to 100% or full.

Pendulum length is written as 13cm. Theoretically I should see a value of 0.723. The actual testing of these watches is done by checking whether they work within a certain period of time and how much they deviate. At least that's what I know.

I wish everyone a happy time with their watches.

first off your pallet arbor bridge is not level, so your entry and exit pallets are not going to be working as they should. 

Do not get too hung up with the figures on these apps, yes i use the same as you but first i put it in beat by ear alone, making sure that the clock and the movement are level, then you set the clock in beat and you can use the app as i do as a nice warm and fuzzy to let me know that my ability to putt he clock in beat by ear alone is up to standard. 

Also bring the detection threshold up more as it is listening to a lot of noise where it is positioned at the moment.
