I have 3 Movado watches that I replaced the movement ,  The ETA 902-002 and each one of my customers come back in days or weeks later and say it is gaining, losing or not working at all yet when we have the watch it runs fine each time after the third time the watch came back to us I took all three into NYC to our Watch Maker we do business with and he had for two weeks and found nothing wrong with them.   Now I have one customer coming back in our store with watch saying it ran fine for 2 weeks than in 1 night it gained 20 min. Have anyone else have this experience?

I had a similar experience with a customer who kept magnetising her watch. I found that she had a magnetic bracelet and was wearing it on the same wrist as the watch. It took a few weeks before I resolved this issue. 

The other issue to be aware of is how the customer wears the watch. Some wear the watch with the crown facing away from the hand some even wear it on the reverse side of the wrist. This knowledge is useful when regulating the watch i.e. getting the best setting for how they will use/wear the watch.

I have had similar experience selling used cars to "knot heads"  and "remorsefull buyers".  getting back to  watches,   I  have a Movado and a nevia grechen  that probably have the same mvt..  both my favorites,  lose some time and should be serviced. But, here is the "tire kicker";  just bought  a ditual microscope camera for watch work. it failed in 1 hour ! I am expecting a replacement (not my money back).  when will we get quality equipment again ??  as Mao said;  "be happy in your work".  later vinn

      Regarding the spring winders, I made my own and used copper pipe reducers as the tubes to retain the spring. You will need to cut out a section for the end of the spring to protrude but if you watch one of the many videos on this subject that will make sense. You can find a selection of sizes on Ebay for very little cost. I'll attach a pic showing one of mine.  Good luck!

      Omega sweep second pinion friction spring - correct tension IS important

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      There were things bothering me about this discussion that took me a while to figure out the problem. In the image below it appears to be the spring may be pushing up? Normally when Omega has a spring pushing up the pinion has a pivot with a bridge to hold it in place so in other words the spring can push on something that stationary as opposed to this which appears to be floating? To understand the problem with the above image we need another image of side view which I have below. In my image down below on the left-hand side it agrees with the image up above. But the only problem is the left-hand side is defective and the right-hand side image is the way it's supposed to look. Then Omega if you can access the right documents does explain how and why this problem occurs. With the pinion floating around it might be assumed that you support it when putting on all the hands but you do not because as noted below if you do this small bush on the pinion will relocate out of position exactly what we see in the image up above.   Then Omega does not mention this but there is a possibility of also damaging the pinion and causing the bush to move to where it's not supposed to be when removing the hands.

      Regulating is too touchy

      By LittleWatchShop · Posted

      Maybe show us 1) the watch, 2) timegrapher readings in DU, DD, PU, and PD.

      The timegrapher displays significant beat error variations in the dial-up position. When the watch is lying flat (face up), the beat error is much higher than in other positions. Beat error readings are inconsistent, with especially large gaps in the face-up position.  Please help !

      Looks like an open-access journal that runs as a glorified pre-print server with no true peer review, so it’s not easy to judge the veracity of the conclusions.
