Pleased to report that I have now put my watch back together, and it's on my wrist once again.
Happily, nothing got damaged and it's now been ticking away for around 36 hrs.
However, I'm not 100% happy, as the amplitude is slightly lower than it was before...
I think it could be due to lower mainspring tension.
(I put in a new mainspring, with the barrel grease moebius 8217, but I didn't replace the barrel. )
It might be slipping too early?
It could also be the pallet lubrication.
I used Moebius 9415 -
"works wonders for amplitude".
I found it rather tricky placing a small dot of lube on the pallet face, I might have put too much...
At the moment, re timing, all six positions are within 4.5 sec. of each other.
Difference between DU and DD is 1.2 sec.
I'll wait a few days and see how it evolves.
