Right, my final adjustment, I wasn't happy with cocktail stick in the watch incase it attracts moisture and also I wanted to take away the bit of play in the SEL.

Here is my version of the solution. Many thanks to the OP for triggering the ideas.

I used insulation tape around a 1.8mm Springbar. Then using a craft knife cut half of it off so there is a wedge on one side.

Then used three layers of masking tape on the inside of the SEL.

Result is this. With a lot less movement. Probably the same amount that I had with the 2.0mm Springbars.

I'll consider this fixed from my end!!

Rehaut alignment done as per Op's instructions.

5 min job, loosen 2 screws, move slightly to left or right, and tighten.

if it just doesn't keep time well, chances are there's nothing broken and it just needs a good service!
