Just did a clean and oil, replaced the mainspring put it on my pro 1000 to adjust it and the ticks are all over the place, it keeps time has great, rotation, anybody give some Ideas what to look for. I know something not right, but what. Dwayne

Dwayne, I'm a long way from knowing everything that it could be, but I have found that when that happens if I demagnetize it that it helps a lot.

Check the grounding and connectors on your pro1000

I have a Bunn that cks fine on the pro 1000 I don't think thats it, but thanks for the suggestion. Dwayne

Dwayne,

Sometimes when doing a COA and installing a new mainspring the rotation of the balance goes too far. If the mainspring is too strong the watch will knock because the roller jewel is coming around and hitting which makes the timing machine do strange things. If the watch isn’t knocking but is coming close it often helps to lower the volume then the machine will start registering. It may be helpful to unwind the watch and put it on the machine with light mainspring tension then gradually increase the wind.

Good luck,

RR

If there is an audio feed from the PRO1000, do a subjective comparative "play" between the Bunn that does fine and this one. You might be able to "hear" the issue.

Richard's suggestion addresses this issue from an equally important, but slightly different direction. As the lower power, especially where you watch has a going barrel design for the mainspinrg could show a substantially more stable movement.

My Machine uses an AGC circuit that kicks in as soon as the first cyclic sounds are picked up but you can manually over-ride that if it goes nuts with widely varying amplitudes of sound pressure in the watch and have a better chance at getting a decent reading through the "Thicket" of noise that sometimes prevails in pillar plate movements.

Also, check the beat error to see if that is unstable. That would suggest some things that there is not enough space to address here.
