Do a double check on the wheels.
I alway test this as follows: keep the movement horizont al and gently lift a wheel with your tweezers and release the wheel. It should drop down very easily, if not clean the pivots of that wheel and the jewel holes again. Do this for all wheels separately. If oke, you will know the train is fine.
Second checkpoint, verify the barrel is upright and running free with little play in the vertical direction. Especially for you changed the bushings. Next the play of the barrel arbor in the barrel, the play should be minimal, but definitely visible with your loupe for sure. Did you oiled the barrel arbor bearings in the barrel itself with a bit of hp1000? I know it is not in the rolex serv. manuals but Omega has a workinstruction ordering you to oil the barrel arbor pivot with new barrels, factory fresh barrels direct from the blister.
