AS 1123/1124 Amplitude Gain Shocked !

[steve1811uk]

Hi,

Just thought I'd post this as I was truly shocked earlier today. Amplitude horizontal full wind was getting 300 degrees. Vertical positions were very low in the range 170 to 180 degrees. That was before I lubricated the escape wheel teeth with Moebius 941. Amplitude in the vertical positions increased instantly to 240-250 degrees. Horizontal amplitude increased a bit to 310 degrees. I was truly shocked with the increase.

Watch is gold cased from 1956, awarded for 38 years service, wow!!!

one of the most important places to lubricate in a watch is the escapement. This is where you'll see spectacular increases in amplitude if you would do that.
