Regulating p9000 decorated a7750

[dao88]

Hi fellow members,
About to regulate a 364 thats running 30 sec/day fast and just making certain that I'm supposed to move the little arm circled in orange in the picture below and not the lever that the yellow/green arrow is pointing to correct? Just making sure I get it right before I open it, I wasn't clear in the regulating tutorial.
Thanks for any input!
And by the way I downloaded this new app on the iphone 6 called "Hairspring" that tells you how fast or slow your watch is running. Its only $4 and i can confirm that it works great and you just have to set your watch on top of the microphone on the apple earbuds/headphones- no expensive microphone needed. Or you can scotchtape the earbad mic to the back of the case. My new 243 J has been running pretty much dead on (using atomic clock) from the factory and this app confirmed it as running +1.9 sec a day (w/ dial up) average over a 5 min testing period which is pretty amazing for a rep, I definitely lucked out.

OK thanks.

Ok please disregard. Figured out how to load the tutorial video which makes it more clear. Use arm that's circled to adjust timing. What the arrow is pointing to is a micro adjuster that's not that accurate in use.

Pictures no longer there and video is no longer in the tutorials. Anyone have any updates instructions with photos or have the video still available?

Great, thank you. I think for my ZF 682 it looks like there is a false bridge covering the regulator. The image with the red cicrle marked, that is the amplitude lever, right, and you can't see the timing regulator lever. Do I just need to unscrew the 2 screws marked in green to remove the bridge and get access? Anything else I should be aware of before trying this?

No one has regulated a decorated movement? Any comments on this specific one?

Well so since no one responded I got a little impatient and here is what I tried. Hopefully this will help someone in the future. This is for a p.9010 decorated 7750.

First off I would highly recommend before doing any regulation that you have a time grapher app on your phone this way you can get it right the first time. You don’t need any sophisticated equipment for simple regulation and an app is perfectly adequate. Also, take pictures along the way and make a mental note of where the regulation lever is positioned in context to other parts within the watch movement before starting.

After removing the case back I tried to unscrew the two screws that looked like they were holding the bridge. However it seemed like the slots in the screws were not deep enough to give me a enough of a bite to unscrew them. Without knowing more about it I gave up on that.

Fortunately there was enough room from the side to be able to access the regulation level which was not obvious when the case back was in place. Originally my watch was running almost a minute fast per day. I gave it a small nudge and tested with the time grapher app. Now it was running almost 2 minutes slow. So nudged it back the other way retested and wouldn’t you know, dumb luck, it was running one or two seconds fast per day.

Next I regreased the caseback seal, and replaced the caseback. Four hours later it’s keeping perfect time.

Great sharing. My pam438 using p9001 deco had a same problem too but based on my watchsmith feedback, it was due to its gear teeth broken. So he just replace to the new one and it works like jagger

Great info. So where are the pictures you took along the way?

So the pictures above show what it looks like with the caseback on, but I think the most helpful one is below which shows the access to the timing lever (on left) and amplitude lever (on right) from the side under the bridge. Just needed to nudge the left lever with a small screwdriver.
