Cheers mate!

Yesterday was the BIG day, I put together the final parts on my Antima Sport Professional. After doing my first total service on a movement.

I had not a watch cleaning machine, so I had to build that as well...

It was the same Antima that I have put out a photo of on the forum on the 29 of march, when I introduced myself as a new member.

Well done Arkobugg, it looks the business!

That was a really  nice vintage diver. With the same case as  both the Tag Heuer and Candino use. Aswell as my others.

Great job! Congratulations and I bet this is going to be your proudest watchmaking achievement: your first complete restoration!

Cheers,

Bob

PS. Many more great moments to come as you go on!

That looks awesome. As I'm someone who has disassembled and am about to clean my first watch, what would be your two best tips?

Thanks for kind words!! My best tips is take lots of photoes, make sketches, keep track ower where the screwes belong, take your time, take a break when tired, have fun, celebrate when done....

Good luck!!

Thanks Robert!! Yes,  this is the watch I bought in 1977, when I was 14 years old. I paid with my own money..

So now 39 years later, it have now been updated And as good as new....

Thanks. Taken about 100 pics while taking apart. Should have paid more attention to screws. And finding this on the kitchen table two days after disassembly wouldn't be in your top tips then?!! [emoji33]

(Well at least I found it!)

Did some regulation of my Antima during the weekend, and got this result:

What can be said about this? Is this ok or?

Hi arkobugg, great job on the refurbishment on this watch, followed with interest and think it looks great, well done.

Your amplitude in the last pic however is very low, you will be having terrible positional errors and fluctuations I would imagine, have a look at your escapement, is the hairspring flat? check end shakes from the barrel arbor to the balance wheel itself, look closely at the balance staff pivots, something is robbing you of amplitude.

Enjoy this detective work, we learn so much every day by doing it, keep up the super work, please keep me informed of your progress.

Hey Brian,  Yes I can see that is low on this pictures, but I seems to remember that this have been like 230 or 260. I think this watch have higher amplitude when fully wind up. Or should this not have nothing to say? The watch now keeps the time pretty good, it goes like between -7 to + 5 in a average...

Is there a threaded spacer ring inside in order to keep the movement steady or is it held in place only with the crown stem?
