The -2.7/day really bugged me. I broke out my trusty dusty regulating wrench and put 23 degrees CCW turn on the coarse adjustment microstella screws. In 5 minutes I have it running at +2.9/day. Much better!

The movement is exceptionally clean and appears to be properly oiled. I am very pleased!

Sorry, I tucked it away safely back in its case before any pics could be taken. I was going to overhaul it but it appeared to be clean and oiled already, so I just regulated. I'll be overhauling my DateJust sometime soon and may post up some pics.

On the timegrapher it is running -2.7/day, not bad (within COSC).

Here are the lug widths:

ur 2.38
ll 2.47
lr 2.42

So some polishing has occurred, but it was done very well. No excessive changes to dimensions.

The dial, insert, and hands all appear to be RSC service replacements, can't wait to test the lume. The crystal has the coronet etched at 6:00 which is also an obvious service replacement giveaway (and a nice touch too, I might add).

It's cooking in the pressure tester at 6 bar right now, should know if it's water resistant in a few minutes...

Those are some very beautiful watches.
