    Okay, now that I got i running in a way that looks nice in all positions, ha ha :) , the watch is loosing about 30 minutes to an hour a day. Usually does that mean the balance wheel is over banking? causing the roller jewel to take too much time to reach the fork, and should it be turned out more so it has more tension before it goes through the two pins that hold it in line under the balance bridge? Does it mean the hair spring is locked in starting off too far to center? How should I trouble shoot it?
