Regulating to +2 sec/day, ubi style

[ubiquitous]

When I first rec'd my Tudor chrono, it was averaging around -25 sec/day. Somewhat irritating losing 1 min/4 days...

So, I decided to do something about it. Here's how I 'regulate' to +2 sec/day without a timing machine... Simply swap the movement with a NOS 7734 :

And out with the old. Movement is looking pretty dirty...

So, there you have it... Think I'll have the old one serviced sometime soon and then build something else out of it. For the time being, it will be nice having something that keeps good time on the wrist

Thanks for looking...

You're a true regulateur R.. Nicely done!

[vlydog]

Love following the development of your projects R. Thank you for sharing.

Nothing like doing it the easy way.

I wish that I could regulate all of my watches that way :thumbsupsmileyanim:

Hey, you cheated. But I do like your thinking.

[Ronin]

Send the old movement to Zig so you have a backup...

Great job BTW!

Cool, now that's how you regulate!

[coolfire]

R, you could always send that rubbish, spare 7734 to me, though... I'll regulate it the hard way!

I didn't realize how badly the movement swap was actually needed. Much different watch now... Smoother winding, better chronograph operability... And of course better time keeping. What a difference!

Now that I've essentially rebuilt/replaced most of this watch since receiving it, I've arrived at the conclusion that I should have just started this one from scratch. Would have been far less costly in the long run...

Oh well... It's been a fun learning experience at least!

Cheers,

But now the movement doesnt say Tudor. I thought thats what our whole world was about in the grand scheme!

I'm still trying to decide if having the Tudor signed bridge really matters to me Since it's behind the case back, it's out of sight, out of mind...
