How To Regulate Your Watch In 5 Minutes 

Tip: if the movement hacks, hack it while adjusting! This will stop the mainspring and minimize the chance of any damage.

Thanks so much for this, I’m going to adjust my SRPS59 which is currently running almost a minute fast per day!

great video , thanks for the explanation .

Good job Jonah...I can see where this can become addictive 🙂

This is by far the most simple easy to understand video regarding this. So in order to reduce the speed I need to turn the regulator clockwise . My watch is currently running 2hours faster Thank you.

Finally someone tells me how. Thank you.

Any one opening the case back may wish to place a poly bag over the back before applying the case wrench to avoid marking the case.

Very helpful video, thank you so much

Nice clear video!

I laughed so hard at the rate after the first adjustment

Great vid..

I notice the time grapher holding the face up. My watch is +15 s/d face up or down. On edge, crown up/down, it is +/- 4 s/d. Wearing the watch is mostly on edge. Gravity affects the balance wheel.

I was rather leery about using a toothpick to regulate my watch, fearing that wood slivers would come off and muck up the watch innards... I used a plastic stick instead.

Great for beginners. Remember to tell them not to hit the spring or it is ruined. You should leave the back off and adjust it while on the timegrapher. Slowly just bump the lever a tiny bit always. I recommend cutting a little of the point of the wood or plastic pick off so you have a good flat side to move it. Should have done the beat error while in there. It is not that hard to do being the same on a different lever. I do both. I find changing the ms/beat changes the speed also.

Really nice reviews on your channel, Jonah! Btw, I noticed that the watch movement at 1:30 is different than the one at 3:40. The little brass colored pieces in the regulating levers was kind of a give away. Good tip (no pun intended) to brace the hand. Just a fraction of a millimeter can make a 10-15 second/day difference.

Nice job

Is this the same for an NH35?

Dude i love your channel! I am cheapie when it comes to watches. Hoping for review of Invictas, Q&Q, fashion watches brand like Hugo, Lacoste. I am not demanding, just suggesting :)

Why not do the adjustments with the watch running on the timegrapher to monitor the effect in realtime (while remembering position error)? This is what I did when regulating my first watch today (Dan Henry 1970). Took me mere three nudges to get it from +17 to zero. So happy!

You didn't mention the fact that the rate will change depending on the position/orientation of the watch, because gravity affects the balance wheel.

Hey would , +6 seconds on the rate and 249 degrees on the amplitude be fine or would that need work ?

Guys, for any new viewers out there, if your movement hacks, please hack it and adjust the timing so you dont touch that balance spring by mistake when its moving while tweaking the lever. All it takes it a simple slip. Ask me how i know. I ruined my favorite watch

my lever is already at the minimum speed, but my watch still too fast like 2 second per minute. what should i do?

You're showing a different movement when adjusting. It's probably a 7009 rather than a 7s26.

Did you take down the the Duro and the Microbrand related vids? Not showing up now. Anyway, sent you an email re Lorier.

Why did you use two different watch movements in this video? It's obvious if you pay attention to the stud and regulator. There is definately two different movements in this video.

Take a sharpie and put a dot where you started from in front of the arrow, this way you won’t go back from where you started when you readjust.

Hi, why there is no more videos?

You cant hand wind an SNMK97

I think 11:11 might have been a better name or even 10:01

The first little bit you pushed it would probably have been enough.

lol.... quit while you're ahead 😃

Where'd you go man???????? Dont tell me its over??

Used 2 movements for the video.. 7s26 and 7009...ha ha..

I tried this on a very cheap watch I bought online that was running -200 seconds! I opened up the back and the little regulating lever was in the "slow" portion of the regulator. So I pushed it with my spring bar tool toward the faster marker and checked again: +14 seconds. Okay. I could get it a bit more accurate still so I went to push the lever back toward the slow adjustment a bit and I was a bit hasty and didn't prop my hand against the table top for support and I heard a little "PING!" as the spring bar tool touched the balance wheel and brought it to a halt! As soon as I heard it I yanked my hand back knowing I may have done permanent damage and the watch resumed ticking away. I finished the regulating and got it to -6 seconds which is good enough for me. Luckily the watch seems to be no worse for wear so far but there's a reason I tried this with a cheap watch first.

You still out there?

very cool its clear your into watches but you really gotta get some pocket watches the classics of watches

😂😂😂😂😂

Step 1, buy a quartz

Hello. I have Omega Speedmaster, very old watch, automatic, and I have this part for regulating, but there is no + and - . It doesn say where is + and where s -. Can this part be adjustet at all? Does every automatic have this part for adjusting it? Now, the watch is in hurry 6 minutes every day.

This sounds like a good side hustle
