Microstella Rolex regulation
I have a question regarding the use of the microstella wrench. Why is the "rolex" way of doing it holding the balance with tweezers and not just hacking the movement and then rotating balance to the desired position? Any comments are appreciated.

You hold the balance steady when applying torque to the screws to avoid damage.

I always hack and start regulating. On the 15×× calibers it is a little trickier so I unwind the mainspring before using the microstella. |
