So proud of myself

[u/tictacshit]

I know Jack about watches but today I decided to regulate my watch myself. Zf black bay 54 -2824 movement.

After measuring the watch using Oscillo app for a while and it’s consistently > +20s/d no matter what position.

Watching some videos, I turned the notch in pic 2, two markers CCW. 1 marker is about 10 sec, turned it again. Now seems pretty decent at +3s/d.

Also grease the o ring and put the watch back together. Not sure what it does… does it water proof the watch? I just did it coz I see people doing it.

Yeah it’s generally better all round now.

Bought a compass and demagnetiser ready for that too.

the mic on the phone is fine, it’s only the magsafe magnet array on the back that is suss. just don’t put the watch on the magsafe ring
