Did it come with any tools? Normally you would have a c-spanner and this would be used to move the spindle.

Not familiar with this model but I suspect the black collar where the sliding anvil comes out will loosen the sleeve, allowing you to 'zero' the tool correctly.

These usually do not need adjusting and such a big error as yours could be caused by dropping the instrument. Check that the measuring surface (called anvils) meet 'flat' otherwise it will never measure correctly. This can be straightened but needs a machinist to do it well.

If you can remove the set screw and move the index barrel round that may solve.

These are pretty simple tools and are meant to come apart for cleaning. To work well they need to be greased and function smoothly. A binding tool may give the impression that the tool is up close to the item being measured when its actually the tool binding.

Good luck!

Don't use grease. Maybe some 9010 would work best. To thick grease or oil and it won't work.

Is the small screw next to the Zero the Set Screw?

Loosen that a little and you can turn it to zero the  scale. Make sure the parts are clean and the measuring pins are clean . Or what they are called. No need to loosen anything where the friction pin is i think.

      Breitling Navi Heritage (ETA 2892A2) seconds subdial skimpiness...

      By JeremyLaurenson · Posted

      I thought this may be "right" forum to post this. After 7 months out in Switzerland I got my Navitimer back from Breitling. I had sent it off since its 20 years old to have a complete overhaul done... Nothing major wrong, but I did notice this seconds sundial skipping thingy.... $1300 later and 7 months later, I notice the 'skips' are still here unless the chronometer is engaged. I would think this is likely the hand binding up and maybe clearance with the dial, but at any rate Im interested as to whether this is something I should be returning the watch to Breitling for and insisting on being fixed. See below - 1 minute or so of regular running and then 1 minute with the chronograph engaged.

      How to recognize radioactive watches.

      By WatchesFarm · Posted

      Hello everyone, I recently received a request for advice on purchasing a vintage watch, a Waltham A-11 ORD. DEPT. I asked if they were aware that these types of watches have radioactive hands and dials... but they had no idea what I was talking about. So, I thought of creating a video that could help recognize them, starting from the distinctive details to using a Geiger counter. I hope you like it and find it useful for those venturing into the world of vintage watches. Bye.

      I’ve tried everything using both my blue and donut demag units.  I’ve even tried beating them with a steel hammer 🙂   im now trying heating them over gas flame — if that doesn’t work …..

      The 110v supply could be problem with the blue one. Have you tried moving the piece to demag through different orientations manually as its drawn away ? As Nev quoted the magnetic fields of the demag have to overcome those of the steel.

      Thank you Marc! I re ran the TG. First I went ahead and checked the balance jewel on the regulator and it was bone dry. I cleaned and oiled it, not without some drama including pinging the capstone and searching my bench with a black light for 30 minutes and finally shone it on my face and looked in the mirror only to find it on my left cheek in my 2 day growth! Back in and on the Grapher we are at 275. However significant drop in DD (234) and CR (190 edited) positions tells me it's time for a complete cleaning and oiling.
