..so the owner had to return to the AD. Pretty smart.
The lift angle of a Unitas 6497/8 movement is 44º. It might be worthwhile . . .

Thanks, I did
Changing the lift angle changes only the accuracy of the amplitude measurement, but not the timing.
My current watchmaker has his timing machine . . .
. . . set to 52º, and doesn't bother adjusting it unless told otherwise. It might not make much of a difference if the lift angle is off by a few degrees, but some movements are notably lower than 52º, like the cal 321 in early Speedmasters at 40º. Art ...
