For what it is worth the thing that you are adjusting is a regulator that is mounted on the balance bridge that has small pins that the hairspring passes through. Moving the regulator changes the amount of slack in the hairspring making the watch run faster or slower. I have never found that much conformity in this industry, I guess a lot depends on who you worked under. Trias from IW a few days ago. It's my first manual wind and it's pretty fun to wind it every morning. I regulated it (don't know if I did it right:?) so that it now runs +2s/day:). Very nice..............and if you have it running at +2.........you did it right! :) As an arguable point, I have always been told that the term "regulate" as it applies to watches has to do with consistancy on a daily basis. The term "adjust" as it applies to watches has to do with the accuracy of the watch. Therefore, if a watch is not consistant on a daily basis, it must be "regulated" first; then it is "adjusted" for accuracy to get it within the smallest margin of error possible.

I hear ya', and I hate the unkind experience you are having with your PVD...but it is a tool watch and unless you plan on unloading it post haste, it is gonna take more shots!! Experience like yours with DOXA are becoming too common and will cost them potential and repeat customers like you and me. this is unfortunate because they do make a fine watch ( I have expereienced none of the crown problems I've hear of) and have the potential for great things should they get off their arse and starting acting hungry... All the best and don't sweat the dings...they add character for a toll watch... Pax Johnny P wrote: No this one is not a waste of money, or the other Doxas, but the PVD sure is.
