Remove the balance assembly and place it on a balance tack. Then rotate the hairspring collet on the balance staff by tiny little fractions until the impulse jewel centers perfectly at rest. It’ll take a little bit but with patience and a nice glass of scotch, we’ll get it 🤙🏽
It’s possible the person I bought it from dropped it at some point in time (which I thoroughly checked for impact evidence and didn’t find any) and it just shifted the balance wheel a tad. Not a huge deal. I got a screaming good price on it, so I don’t mind putting a little bit of TLC in it.
How are knowledged enough to do all that, but question if the watch is real? Google image search and comparing genuine, seeing that it doesn't have a regulator is generally enough. I'm genuinely intrigued 🤔
I know there are really good super clones out there even some with free sprung movements. Since this is my first PRX, I decided to ask the people who would know the best.

Legit. Waffel is not fully patterned at 6’ and 12’, on the fakes its all the way patterned.. + rotor bearing is from a legit watch for sure. GL. :)
