I used the same method as when I did my 380SE about 4 years ago which is still OK, the american way of tightening snug then loosen and finger tight. No gage.

Tightening snug may not get the tolerance as indicated by a dial guage. Your bearings could be too loose.
This first time I replaced the bearings on my MB, I tightened the nut until I could not spin the hub very easily. Then backed the nut off 1/3 of a turn, then using a piece of wood as a protector between the spindle and hammer, whacked the spindle a good one. I was then able to spin the hub easily.
