watch123 Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Hello, I just bought a Beginmariner LV from Josh, and while it's absolutely beautiful to look at, it gains about 1 1/2 minutes per day. I've already got the caseback off, and would like to adjust the proper lever inside, but am unsure which of the two is correct to move. Previously I saw this photo posted about how to adjust a movement: The instructions were "Moving tab A away from tab B will make the watch run faster (moving A closer to B will slow it down)" Looks simple enough, however, the shape of tabs A and B seem to be the opposite configuration on my 2813 movement. Wide tab with small screw is on top, and the smaller tab is under it: Which one should I move to slow the watch down a little bit? (I read touching the wrong one can mess up the "beat" of the watch, and of course I don't want to do that) Thanks for any advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodwc Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Move the lever with the 2 brass pins in it, TOWARDS the other, This has the effect of lengthening the hairspring, thus slowing the time. The other lever ( with the screw in it ) anchors the hairspring. Not much , start with half mm. Unless you have a timing machine it is going to be trail and error. Hope this helps.

I was able to get the watch running much more accurately. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuelram16 Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 One thing to watch out for is when you adjust lever A is that lever B should remain FIXED, otherwise you're in for trouble (I found out the hard way)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
