When adjusting isn't enough

[xyz]

What to do when your movement loses 1 second every hour, but you have already turned the adjustment screw to the minimum setting?

Probably not the answer your looking for.. but I’m afraid you have to get it serviced.

The movement can get dirty which has effect on the accuracy. Even some new movements need to be serviced as they leave the factory dirty. I don’t know the value of your watch. But yes, servicing can be quite expensive.

Found this which could be helpful if I knew how to move the green bit in a way that I don't do damage.

Yes, worth a shot.
You could use some pointed tweezers.

Put the the regulation screw back in neutral position so you can micro adjust if necessary. And mark the position of the lever as it is now so you can go back to default setting.

Maybe the WildSpectra in the google playstore can be useful for you.

quite " dangerous " to shift the green arrow without a timegrapher, it has to be moved a very little ( and I'm not talking about millimeters, but less than that ) otherwise you will have a watch that, instead of losing 1 sec per hour ( 24 sec a day ) will gain incredible amounts. Best advice is to get it regulated somewhere, if this isn't enough then get it serviced. or buy a timegrapher and do the regulation yourself

If you don’t want to buy a timegrapher you can download an app called Hairspring and use a phone and a headset to tell the accuracy of your watch.

Adjusting took time, but the result is COSC spec! Thanks for the app tip, it saved a lot of time, though I used another app.
