Q1: What is the purpose of the adjustable central screw? Can I use the holder without adjusting it?
A: The central screw supports the balance staff pivot and endstones from underneath, preventing the staff from bending or becoming damaged due to an unsupported centre during service. If used without adjustment, the middle of the movement lacks support, and the balance staff may experience excessive stress when pressing or working on the wheel train. Adjustment is recommended before each use.
Q2: How do I determine the “just touching” position when adjusting the central screw?
A: Place the movement in the holder, then slowly turn the central screw clockwise while lightly touching the balance rim with tweezers to sense height changes. When the screw tip first makes contact, the balance wheel will stop rising with the screw. At this point, stop tightening and turn the screw back counter‑clockwise by a very small amount (approx. 1/16 turn). The ideal support point is when the play is eliminated without lifting the balance wheel. If the balance rim is visibly raised, the screw has been overtightened.
Q3: What are the advantages of this holder compared to the original Rolex plastic movement holder?
A: The Horotec aluminium holder is more robust and durable than the original plastic holder. Its anodised surface offers better scratch resistance, and the adjustable central screw provides more precise support protection for the balance staff pivot. The original plastic holder is often a single‑use assembly aid, while the Horotec holder is designed for repeated professional service use.
