How to Regulate a Watch with a Timegrapher

Hi Guys, in this video I show you how I regulate a watch movement on a Weishi 1000 timegrapher. The video show the steps required moving the regulator and stud. You will see in real time the results of those adjustments on the timegrapher.

As someone who is defnitely still at the 'dipping my toe in the water' stage of this hobby this was absolutely perfectly pitched. The more 'how to' videos the better for me, but appreciate there needs to be balance for the proper enthusiast. Love the channel - thanks for helping me get my first steps into what is a fascinating passtime!

I was yelling at the screen. You had a rate of 0 and a beat error of 0.2. I kept yelling stop, don't touch it.
Thanks for showing us how to do it. Keep up the good work.

I can see why most YouTubers regulate off camera now. Having done this job several times, I can't imagine trying to do this the way you have just now. Well done Mike.

Fabulous Mike! In nuclear power, we have this saying: “Measure it with a micrometer. Mark it with a piece of chalk. Cut it with a chain saw.” 😀 I think you lived that axiom with great success today. Bravo, Sir!! 👏

Excellent video. I was regulating my Seiko 5 watches ten years ago the old fashioned way, adjusting the regulating arm then checking them 24 hours later. It would take about 15 attempts! After watching your video I can't wait to use the timegrapher.

Amazing and thank you. This is what every hobbyist needs to see first hand and many of us are visual learners, myself included.

Great video, thanks Mike! I ordered a Weishi 1000 last night with a view to attempting some regulation, so this helped heaps!

This video is one of the best to understand how to use the timegrapher.

Great video Mike.
Thanks for showing this process, and as always with your ‘good and bad’ bits always included. Real world so perfect for an amateur hobbyist.

Brilliant video, the best explanation so far. Your endeavours matched my own, in the sense that it looks like it’s all going wrong, and then magically it smooths out.

[theQdomain]

This was fascinating! It is amazing how such a infinitesimal change in the angle would change the rate or beat error so much. Can’t wait to try this again now that I have an inkling of a tried and true technique. Thanks for sharing another great video. This is going to help a lot of us.

Thank you for posting this demonstration of regulating a movement. Your instruction was very good and I appreciate you keeping things in frame and in focus.

You have the patience of the Saints ! especially on camera ! Well done

Absolutely superb video. Truly addicted, as a wannabe, although much dismayed at my performance recently changing a watch strap during which I was amazed at the flight path of two pins that ricocheted off my glasses after trying to take my eye out. How I laughed...

I really learned a lot from this video about the time grapher
You taught me a lot
Gave me a much better understanding of the proper technique
It’s very hot in Texas but out watches still run
Many thanks

[alpenjon]

The fact that you struggled helped me understand the mechanics. Thank you!

[Ricktpt]

You've answered MANY questions I've had about these adjustments! Thank you!

[davidstewart]

Well done Mike! You displayed and explained the regulation process very well. Thanks!

Great video, I've tossed a good few movements due to lack of understanding of how to sort regulate them. One of the main issues is bodgers having a go
