I have the same movement apart at the moment. My first attempt at repair so I am following this video series closely! Thank you for your efforts and sharing of knowledge!

Great work, and being an Omega, even a modest 7 jewel watch is well made. The most important positional adjustments for a pocket watch are dial up, dial down and pendant up. Due to the nature of the process of positional adjustment, a two position watch must be adjusted to dial up and dial down. While dial up and pendant up might seem a more logical choice for two adjustments, you can’t adjust the timing in the pendant positions unless you’ve already adjusted the dial up and dial down positions and brought their rates and amplitudes as close together as possible. The triangular roller jewel is a cost saving measure. Roller jewels started out round, and several shapes were experimented with before the D shape was found to be optimal. I’ve seen triangular jewels in 200yo English watches when they were still experimenting with different shapes but in newer pieces like this they are used because it’s easier and cheaper to make a triangular jewel. Rather than statically poising that balance after repivoting, I’d suggest screwing both mean time screws in all the way, and then gradually back them out in equal amounts to bring the watch to time. The other balance screws look unmolested, so provided you put both the roller table and hairspring back on in the original orientations, you’ll preserve the temperature adjustment the watch had when it left the factory. If you didn’t mark the orientation of the roller table, you can use this video to find the orientation vs the hairspring stud. If you find a large difference in the dial positions after repivoting, use that sapphire tipped pivot rounding tool (you did a video showing three of them) to make both pivot tips identical in shape. You may well be able to get away with reusing that mainspring. The likely places this watch will be losing amplitude are as follows: 1. excessive shake at the barrel arbour due to wear of the plate holes, which can be closed on the staking set and opened to size with a smoothing broach. 2. Worn, slightly egg shaped pivot holes, which can be closed slightly on the staking set and reopened to size with a smoothing broach. 3. Worn pivots, which will benefit from being burnished in the Jacot tool.

Again, some excellent advice. I did note the position of the stud and that the impulse was in the opposite side, so I’ll be able to put them back as they were in the factory. Actually forgot that I had bought that tool to finish the pivots. I think I have way too many tools and need to actually write down what I have so I can remember to use them appropriately. I’m gonna have to temper that spring and on the main spring to put that little leaf back in as well, so I don’t crack the main screen when I compress it.

@@JDRichard That pivot finishing tool is awesome for equalizing the dial up and dial down rates, once other causes for deviation between those positions has been eliminated. There are two sizes of the tool, the handles are identical but the little sapphire cup is different. One suits wristwatches, the other is more for pocket watch size pivots. From memory, you got 3 of them together, so there’s a good chance you have both sizes. A comparison of the little sapphire cups under magnification should be enough to distinguish any difference between them. Did you see my comment on the final Princess Oysterdate video? It had some information regarding the reversing wheels in that watch and a link to a fantastic Alex Hamilton (Watch Repair Tutorials channel) video that will stand you in good stead for servicing the bumper winding in that beautiful Zenith 133.8.

Great video! I loved the closeups and am looking forward to the re-pivoting video. By the way, how many inserts are there for the Meyer’s #58 movement holder?

That mainspring is about as set as it gets. Even if you used the original one, you wouldn't be happy with the amplitude. And Tim may not tell you where the cave with the cruel, foul rabbit is.

You might be correct, but I’d like to really see what the amplitude ends up being once I get the balance dealt with
