Excellent, very nice, congrats. But couldn't Omega mothership take a few extra minutes to center the index regulator to a neutral position? Every one I've seen so far have not done this, they are cocked off to 'A' or 'R'. If Omega is wed to the 'old school' method of doing things with this 321 movement than why aren't they taking care of the details?

@Archer, can you comment on, from a watchmaking perspective, how big (or not) of an issue it is if the regulator arrow is pointed mostly or completely toward full A or full R? One difference to the new 321 Speedmasters from the classic premoon Speedmasters is the transparent caseback. But when the 321s shipped in the 1960s, for all we know, half could have been full A, the other half full R, and would any buyer then or any of us here today have known, and would it have mattered?

And, other than the regulator, how else can watches be adjusted at the factory or during service by a watchmaker? For example, if you got a 321 in for service that was off by say, five minutes per day after you’ve reassembled it but otherwise is well oiled, and your careful inspection during service showed no wear or damage to bushings, jewels, gears, pivots, etc, how would you adjust the watch to get it back into spec?

About as understated as it gets. Fantastic.

It is definitely interesting that they are cocked off to ‘A’ or ‘R’...even the picture of the new Echo Whiskey 321 at the Omega site shows it that way...
