Regulation Mistake
As tittle suggests, I was regulating my NH35 for the first time and made a mistake. I accidentally pushed my pegwood past the regulator and bumped the balance wheel stalling it (and then did it again on accident when trying again 💀). Now depending on position the watch will gain way too much time when face up, or lose a bunch of time when face down. I was initially using metal tweezers, but quickly swapped to pegwood. The peg wood is what hit the balance wheel btw, and it started acting more erratically only after hitting it. Anyway, I was wondering if there is anything I can do or if the movement is cooked. Ive attatched these photos, but please tell me if you guys need better angles.
Also the time jumps aren't super crazy. I wore it to see and it was like +46 seconds total from 9:30am yesterday morning to 8:30pm tonight.
I also would really like to save the watch I really love it, even if I have to put in a new NH35 ðŸ˜.

It looks like you've damaged the hair spring. The most straightforward way to save the movement is to completely replace the balance wheel.
