Can't play outside, so I regulated my watch

[sheldonsmith]

With the rain on the Central California Coast, there was no playing outside today. So rather than doing the house stuff that I should be doing, my Explorer II was running a little slow, so I decided to speed it up. Above is the before look on the timing machine. The amplitude was higher around 300 degrees. I'm not sure why it shows so low here other than this might have been the crown left measurement when I snapped the photo.


I removed the caseback and it looked like this. Gasket looked good so I left it alone.


Here's how it looked after about an hour of performing very slight tweaks to the Microstella nuts.


And for the curious, here's what my table looked like. Don't ask about the purpose of the pliers.

Obviously, this is not for the faint of heart. I followed the steps I chronicled on watch regulation posted here: https://www.minus4plus6.com/regulation.php

A fun way to spend a rainy afternoon.
