tanya Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Rex is the man for servicing movements unless you are fortunate enough to have a relationship with The Zigmeister of course. Besides The Zigmeister, Rex is the best at servicing movements Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remove the gloves, so you have better fine controll, and with the tooth pick, gently ease the 'needle' of the regulator over to the right by 3 'points' on the engraved scale. (I believe that would translate to speeding the movement by five minutes per mark, so 15 minutes overall) Put the gloves back on, and replace the caseback. (just make sure the o ring is properly seated before replacing the caseback) You might want to initially try moving the 'needle' a single point at a time, just to double check the results, but honestly, it's very easy to do, and doesn't require specialist tools Best of luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
