"Please write a small synopsis or description of why you think the video is interesting." Hmm... Monty Python watches!?

I especially enjoy this:

- Michael Palin: I wouldn't buy 2000 clocks!
- John Cleese: People do.

That would be the joke on the Benny Hill Show. She would have the watches stuffed in her bra. Then after emptying said bra, she would suddenly look like Bob Todd.

Classic Benny Hill 😄, i grew up watching all the comedy greats. Was never really a Monty Python fan though. Laurel and Hardy was the best double act the world has ever known.

      Etachron regulation system

      By BobG · Posted

      Yes, I understand that in te Etachron system the regulator block is turned anti-clockwise. If I look at the spring in relation to the pins as I turn the block the gap appear to be "closing" and the spring is now closer to one pin than the other.  Closing is not the correct term because the pin gap is always contant but in relation to the spring the gap appears to get smaller and smaller until  the spring is actually on the pin.

      I have one of these (different colour scheme) very happy with it! Not so happy with the recent results...  but that is nothing to do with the tester. My wife wanted a waterproof watch she could take on holiday so I fixed up a nice Mickey Mouse Seiko 5 for her.  But after getting a non runner working nicely it failed the pressure test with water seeping in around the crystal 😞

      Etachron regulation system

      By Klassiker · Posted

      This is wrong. We have been talking about the regulator pins because conventionally the regulator is two pins, or a pin and a boot. The Etachron regulator is one round pin with a wide slot down the middle for the hairspring to sit in. To regulate, the pin is rotated anticlockwise (viewed from above) which brings the rear inner and front outer corners of the slot equally closer to the spring. You can download a document with detailed instructions here: https://calibercorner.com/etachron/ Can you please post some photos to show what you mean by "flatten the spring"?

      Than you so much for taking the time to write such a detailed and informative post. It really helps. So, another question: With the Etachron system the stud pushes into the carrier but the angle on the vertical plane of the stud is based on the carrier arm. I expected it to be flat but I have seen some movements where it is bent slight down meaning the stud is pointing slightly inward at the bottom and the spring leaving the stud is affected. Is this something that is done at the factory to flatten the spring?  I played around with manipulating the spring vertical angle as it leaves the stud and it has a significant effect on how it goes through the pins and also the angle of the coils on the other side of the balance. I can flatten the spring by adjusting the angle it leaves the stud. Now I know the NH35 is a mass produced movement so not the best quality but is the stud vertical angle ever manipulated to flatten the spring?
