3135 running at 14400.7

[DaveGTturbo]

Hi guys, after a huge outlay on all parts needed to build my own 3135 it's running at 14400.7 which is very odd. But it's keeping pretty good time, genuine parts make up 85% there are some generic parts, barrel, ratchet wheel, setting wheels etc but all main parts have been sourced via various traders on ebay,
Great wheel, 2nd wheel and 3rd wheel (centre seconds) all new and genuine, escape wheel, pallet fork and balance are used but genuine.
Possible weak hairspring? Or ignore its bph and revel in the fact it runs, keeps time and I built it?

Mainplate, all bridges and other main parts are used but genuine, it's cost a huge small fortune but less than a complete unit :)

Did you check it on a proper timing machine, or use a Pc/tablet App ?

I checked it on my app (clock tuner Pro) I have two eta watches running at 28802.2 +- a few but this is 14400.7.

But I took it to my ws this morning he's timeogragh is showing 28800.0 no beat error running perfectly. It's keeping perfect time so far so I'm baffled lol. Just checked again and it's showing 14400.0 over a hour.

So if it's a case my app is picking up other sounds that might be it. So god knows lol.

Feeling proud anyway. Its born from parts. Not bad for a novice :)

Quite an achievement to put one together yourself and get good timing and 0 beat error - even more so with the free sprung balance.

I haven't used any Pc apps, but unless your mic. setup is very good, I can see beats being missed (it seems like half of them !)

Treat yourself to a cheap timegrapher - not what a professional may need to diagnose every fault, but certainly good enough for routine regulation.

Your movement is running ok.

Build yourself a movement timer.
