FINALLY! Mark Lovic Explains Regulating A Watch
Hey Guys:
I've been watching Mark Lovick's watch repair videos for the past year or so; many great tips for the amateur watch person in understandable language... He finally got around to discussing the use of his Timegrapher and using it to regulate a timepiece.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qe8R...em-subs_digest There should be a Part 3 soon and he will get into the nitty-gritty of fixing the beat error as well....

ML states in one of the videos that some Rolex movements don't have regulators and that changing the rate requires manipulation of the hairspring or balance wheel. Does anyone have an idea of which movements these are?

Almost all of them except old models. Rolex use free sprung balances, so no regulator pins are touching the hair spring. Google microstella to see how rolex are regulated.

However, if the beat error on your ROLEX 3135 is NOT zero, then you can improve on that....
