Here's what a Howard Series 3 looks like before and after
being serviced by a repairman who completely takes the watch apart and fully cleans each part then reassembles it.

Thanks to Paul Davis on what had to be a more tricky
E Howard Service. She's lookin Good Paul!

NOW BELOW... Watch After Service... and now running and timing

Thanks Tom for this post, I appreciate it a lot...

A big difference!!!!

I hate to be critical but the hairspring doesn't look right to me. But it was nicely cleaned.

I am with Roger there, needs reforming. would also replace the case screw.

I rely on a professional watchmaker who will not do a repair or restoration without a complete disassembly. Here is an example of his work on a similar Howard. Consistently meticulous, reasonably priced, short turnarounds; a collector needs to find such a craftsman and develop a long term relationship with them.
