Re: REGULATING SEAMASTER 300

In Response To: REGULATING SEAMASTER 300 ()

: I SENT MY SEAMASTER 300 FOR SERVICE AND ITS STILL 5 SECONDS FAST. I
: WOULD LIKE TO REGULATE IT MYSELF. DOES THE "SCREWBALL"
: CASE OPENER WORK WELL WITH THIS WATCH AND WHAT SIZE SCREWDRIVER
: DOES ONE NEED FOR THE REGULATOR SCREW I APPRECIATE ANY FEEDBACK

The case opener ball will work. But be aware that if you open that case for a regulation you are possibly going to screw up the
water resistance. And, if you get water inside that case and it contaminates that movement, the regulation will mean little.
I would find a private watchmaker close to your location and have him do it. Its a simple procedure that costs little and is
fairly simple on a timing machine, without one its a hit and miss way to do it and after taking the back on and off this going
to wear the gaskets and compromise the water resistance.
