Subject: RE: BS: Old Pocket Watches
What that tells me Captain is it needs oiled fully, That is inexpensive and there should be a watch shop near you. My 940 to have it cleaned and oiled was 70 bucks and that is a complex watch to work on . When I told that guy here in town what I think he did was put it in the electrostatic cleaner with the solution but he didn't disassemble and oil ... That sounds like what is going on. All old watches need cleaned and oiled to run ... lately for me about every 5-8 years depending on how much I carry. In the meantime I can going to give you one of my molinja slimlines. 18 Jeweled Rolex movement with fine adjustment. (it will fit your watch pocket and fat belly from all the good Jacqui cooking) Look for it this week
