Hello again. Forgive me this may sound like a stupid question for some. I’m going to attempt to regulate my Omega Seamaster 2232 with 1120 movement which is running -20 spd. The question is when I turn the fine adjustment screw does the movement need to be running or in the hacked position? I really appreciate the help and look forward to dedicating more time to this forum and Omega watches in the future. Cheers
You’re a brave man lol. I regulated a SKX once and it actually worked great, and since they can’t be hacked it ran the entire time. Never tried it on a higher end piece. I leave that to the pros
Hello. 2 weeks ago I ruined my SKX . I accidentally pricked the balance wheel and spring and now it’s running +999 spd.

If you dont have the correct tools or skills I would take the watch to someone who does, they can then open the watch without damaging it, put it on a timing machine and set the timing accurately and also check the watch is water tight once its back together as the seals may also need replacing if the watch has not been serviced recently.
If you don't already have one, I'd recommend getting a Timegrapher on eBay. This would allow you to adjust the watch in real time, while it's running--and in various positions, if you wanted. Sure there's risk, so do it carefully. The feeling of accomplishment is great!

I agree with pascs, even if you are familiar with opening the watch and regulating it, I wouldn't touch the regulator without the watch on a timegrapher. This is the only way/machine to use and fine regulate a watch movement.
Thank you for your feedback. I have a Timegrapher. After really messing up that SKX I’m just hesitant to try it on the Omega. I was only planning on turning the fine adjustment screw and would think the chances of ruining the watch would be slim. Here’s a photo of the watch.
David where do you live? My man john zangler in queens new york regulated mine. Literally took him 2 minutes to do..
San Francisco. I know an independent watch maker but he’s not at his shop at the moment. I guess I’ll just wait maybe. I just read that there an antimagnetic plate underneath the case back as well. I’m nervous I may break something.
