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...

There were a couple more problems I am not going to mention...All in all the watch is now properly serviced, all the problems have now been properly corrected and watch is running great...
