Rikske Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 One notch is about 5sec/day . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolexman Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Fine regulation won't help.... you need to adjust the lever. It works pretty much the same as regulating the new Asian 7750. Click here for info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2005SUBMARINER Posted August 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 thanx guys i think ill let the watch run te fast minute .. i dont think im ready to tinker with that weird looking lever . might throw everything off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikske Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 One minute a week is 8.6 sec a day and the Etachron fine regulator of an ETA 2836 will handle such a correction without problem. Start with 1.5 notches towards the minus sign. The picture of Rolexman is not from an 2836 and has no Etachron regulator. I would say : give it a try and keep us informed. Here is a picture of the 2836 , good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionsandtigers Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 how exactly do you figure out if you're gaining or losing seconds? do you match it to a digital clock? would love to know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2005SUBMARINER Posted August 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 how exactly do you figure out if you're gaining or losing seconds? do you match it to a digital clock? would love to know what i did was pulled out the stem to stop the seconds hands on the 12 & waited to the time on my digital cable box change & then i pushed it back in & monitor the seconds with the digital cable box .. i hope this is a good method .
