Jus figured out a good way to rotate the roller table Impulse Jewel to make it 90 deg from the balance arm. Video below.

That's a rather risky way of moving the roller table JD, you run the high risk of breaking the jewel especially if the gable is slightly tight.  

I would suggest gripping the periphery of the table and turning it that way, or removing it completely and repositioning it before pressing back on.

You need to make sure that the table is not staked down and is free moving. I was 150 percent careful. Btw, balance back and the watch runs like new. Swings about 400 deg one way. I am very pleased.

PS: Perhaps my technique is not for those with a more heavier touch:)b136915b20ebb2a4afd662a6de3ebce8.jpg

I felt I had to comment, just in case someone wasn't as careful as you while trying to rotate a table using the method described.

I'm well pleased it worked out well for you JD, it's a nice looking movement you've refurbished.

Thanks Geo. The watch as a real beauty. I'll need to sell some of these. Picked it up for 80US.66b29643e6eebd500b76f8efba26d6e9.jpg465ca87c9ce2c3a549b681e35551928d.jpgcc81f8a49c0b3d5fa33147733ce57ac2.jpg734d231a58e4ef200eba4d70be7b3819.jpga19e58267c73a9e0de3f0dfc19c0c0dc.jpg

Are You sure? [emoji4]

Took a slow motion movie with my iPhone and eyeballed the movement. Tried to upload the slo mo but keep getting upload error. Try on YouTube.

This is around 260 deg amplitude [emoji6] It cant be over or close to 360 or overbanked.
Gorgeous watch there!

I guess from Center to the end on the swing is 260:) still, great amplitude.

Actually I called a swing of 400 from the farthest points with one arm. Also referred to as a turn. I am trying not to use the term amplitude as it gets confusing on how it is measured.

Not sure, I think the number of degrees may depend on the watch. And if I'm visualizing this correctly, it would be over 360deg to whack the other side of the fork. The fork doesn't lock at zero, if you consider the balance jewel at rest zero.

At least, I think so :)
