E voilá:
Mvm cleaned, oiled and regulated + check out the black gearwheel at 12.
Now stuff works like a champ, smooth winding up and reserve of 32 hours according to my ws.
One remark: the respective part is that sensitive and tricky that in case of leaving "loose" will cause the stuttering but in case of tightening (too much) might cause the movm stop hence the factories are leaving them fully loose.
Lastly according to the ws opinion this is citizen mvm not a seiko..
Anyhow now its ok ;)

check out the black gearwheel at 12 as per gen;)
It's not. Gen is metallic coated. Means it transitions colour between silver and dark metallic grey. Not black. Also the teeth aren't supposed to be darkened either on the gen. Please refrain from making 'as per gen' statements when it's far from it.

What else should I comment on? Nothing else that is new has been shared that needs any further comments. I've commented on your as per gen statement, that's all that needed correction from your original post.
Citizen / Seiko movement doesn't make much difference as both should be sharing the same base so manufacturer doesn't change anything. There's been countless comments on the watch itself, the various models also by me. What should I say?

You're right, that was the most important to point out, nothing to add.

Yeah, like I said. I wouldn't know what else is there to point out. It's a nice watch and a nice mod to it despite not being like the genuine. Neither you nor your watchmaker reinvented the wheel with the work performed. Either way, it's a nice watch as many others of these are.

I would like to thank Hasselbaink too. He took the time to make pictures and a movie and shared them with us. Perhaps there is no new info in his post, but I like it anyway.
That Qtip stated that the dark wheel is not Gen Like I did not know, so I learned that. And that is what this forum is all about: LEARNING.

SO thanks agian Hasselbaink, and more photo's and movies always welcome. Cheers

Shared, what the ws said. He excluded being a Seiko.
Beyond a certain point doesnt really matter, just FYC.

It wasnt a attack mate, just a observation the movement being Hattori and not Citizen. Your WS couldve mixed them as they look quiet similar ;) anyhow, thanks for your detailed pictures!

You might aswell can black the top movement bridge a bit so it wouldnt be obvious there is a movement under the deco. Might be a next update? :)

Hasselbaink how did your ws “ tighten” the hands ? So that it’s running smooth with no stutter

Dont know how but if someone is familiar with the specs and rhe respective part knows how much the is the allowed level.
also cleand the btw super simple mvm, oiled it and its running great, no stutter, check out the vid provided.

to minimize stutter on your NH05 movement: The stuttering second hand is normally caused by lack of tension on the center seconds pinion, and can be sorted by bending the friction spring slightly.(given that the correct hand is used)

Has to be done right, if too loose it will stutter, if too tight, it may cause the hand to stop.
