After getting confident building my DIY Big pilot. I decided to try and adjust a Seiko watch that loses 30 second a day.
I had the case back open and using a timegrapher I was trying to correct the beat rate. It took me several attempts and I bot it down from 1.7 secs to 0.4. I tried another small adjustment that the watch just stopped and I can’t get it started again.
I was using a peg wood stick to make the adjustments. Could I have inadvertatly magnetized the watch? I tried to manually start the balance spring with a gentle touch but that does not work.
Any suggestions?
