This once good working watch was sent into to a "watch repair shop" Google rating 1.3, to be told it could not be repaired.
Quick initial look and started a list and stopped after a few seconds as too much damage,detent screw head broken & plate damaged, barrel arbor, click spring, third wheel  broken, hairspring damaged, basically now a parts watch at best.

From a pocket watch in for repair this week.
a lot of work trying to make a jewel fit.
Classic square jewel in round hole.....

Butchery at it's worst Chris, shameful. I do not think the google rating for the repair shop is accurate, should be 0.3

Chris, thanks for sharing this. Reminding us that not everyone is a graduate certified watchmaker.
We all should choose our repair service carefully, cheap and inexperienced work can often be irreversible or expensive to restore before correcting the original problems.

What a mess!

Regards! Mark

Wow....

Sadly this is a weekly thing, and water damage is another major thing I get in.
