I know it's a redial, but this has been a labor of love. This was the first watch I ever cracked open and I made ALL the mistakes. Ended up buying a very poor maintained (broken) 565 and had to buy another doner watch. But...it's mostly done. I have put every bit of knowledge I know into this (which isn't a lot) but I've researched and learned and struggled (and paid out the ass) and I'll never sell this bad boy, because she's my first. I know the hands are wrong I'm on the hunt for the correct ones. I may post in the WTB.

Anyway, thank you all for the help and snarky ass comments (seriously, I learned a lot!) and @Archer especially. He really did go out of his way to get me on the right track. Y'all tell that man how awesome he is!

After more tweaking and taking the hands off (I have a new set on order) was able to get it more dialed in. Not bad for a 60(ish) year old watch! Thanks again for everyone helping me learn. SO MANY YOUTUBE VIDEOS!

Sorry to say, but your timegrapher reading of the amplitude may be incorrect. At 357°, the balance should be "knocking"/rebanking, pruducing a very messy trace. The actual amplitude may be rather very low - the Weishi 1000 can the misinterpret the sounds as ridiculously high amplitude.

If you have a decent smartphone, try to take a super slow motion video of the balance and try to assess the true amplitude visually (remember, the amplitude will be HALF of the total swing of the balance wheel).
