Hello everyone

I have made a video of the tear down of my Sekonda 2427 and opened a YouTube channel.- Watchmaker Novice. I don't intend to do many, but I will add periodically. 

I've done this so that I can thank all of the members of the forum and others for giving me the skills to be able to understand watch making. 

It's not a great video. I'm not expert in video editing, nor are my tweezer skills great. Can't believe how much my hands shake under magnification. 

Here goes

Watchmaker Novice - Sekonda 2427 - Large Dial Tear down - Disassembly is the title I gave it as I have a number of 2427's and the dials appear smaller. I used my Digital Microscope -(G1200)

    • No not baby photos, teens to early 30s. With the bike about 20, graduation about 30.
    • 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? 
    • Because the water is very hard with calcium where I live, and I saw that on a youtube demo 🤔... Maybe it's unnecessary...
    • Why deionised water for a pressure test?
