I bought this watch back in 2012...It was supposed to have been serviced within the past year before I bought it...I had put it away until about a month ago when I decided to get it out and wind it up...I didn't seem to run very well so I decided to get it serviced because I was thinking about selling it...I was surprised to find out so many problems with it...Here are a few that were found but not all of them...First lock tight on balance cock screw...It also had spread to under the balance cock making it very hard to remove...  | ||
