Mainspring over-torque causes too much amplitude and the excessively swinging pallet knocks against it's boundary pins.. I think that this is what the slipping bridle (clutch) is supposed to eliminate; so if your watch is "knocking" it's likely a mainspring/barrel issue........ _________________ - Chill, We're all friends here... #12   Back to top Deep Sea Old hand Status: Martin Joined: 21 Oct 2009 Posts: 103 Location: Mexico mostly, NC sometimes Posted: Fri Nov 06, 2009 12:33 pm    Post subject: Tools wrote: ABS wrote: I'll give it another day....
