I'll get photos looking down later today. I actually have two AS 1187's I'm working on and both have the same problem - running too fast, low amplitude. I'll get a photo of that one as well. -

Yup. I now have a label on the microphone of my Timegrapher that says in big letters, 'DEMAGNETISE'. -

Why? Why do I still forget the setting lever screw EVERY TIME? I need to write it on my work mat or something. -

Terrinecold Like you. I began on the ST. But just before I started the course and purchased an ST3600. I found a YouTube video of a Sekonda with a 2428 Slava movement. I believed what this idiot said, 'only started last week'. But I liked Sekonda and purchased a watch with a Slava 2428 movement. £12. Really like this watch. It was running. I was frightened to work on it. I saw an automatic version of the watch, Slava 2427 movement which was marked 'for parts or repair'. £8. I purchased this and began my disassembly. Killed the hairspring. Broke all pivots. Purchased another 'repair'. Killed the hairspring, etc. Found Ratfaced Git on Youtube. His instruction on Slava was fabulous. 2428 and 2427 are so informative. My love affair with Sekonda began. I now have 7 working Sekonda 2427 and a number of parts. Lots. Tweezer control when removing the balance is an art. Slow and low does it. Note. Ratfaced git's site has been taken over by a wood worker. But his watch videos have been left on. Sekonda still appear to be cheaper that most watches. Half to 1/3 the price of Seiko. I only purchase working Sekonda now. Hope this helps.
