Thats just the tip of the iceberg, they have no idea of what is yet to come. When you start grabbing stranger's left hands to turn their wrists to see what watch they are wearing then thats when they need to start worrying. Erm not that i...ah-hem....have done that. -

Can you get a top view with power off, balance at rest? The hairspring could be off center just enough that it is touching something when running (center wheel, stud, regulator). Thing is, on older stuff in particular, if you find a balance complete there's about a 99.99% chance the hairspring of the new balance will need some adjustment to work correctly. Also, not much use getting concerned with the rate until you get the amplitude up. -

Those pins look awfully tight. Does the hairspring slide freely between them when you adjust the rate? -
John will ask this question anyway: how did the watch run before your service?

I have demagnetised. I would say the hairspring looks fair, mostly evenly spaced though not perfect, no coils touching. I don't have the skills or equipment (an adequate microscope, a good way to remove and replace the hairspring from the balance wheel to work on it) to improve the hairspring so I would need to source a NOS balance complete. I will give it a closer look though.
