themoo-12 0 Posted August 4, 2010 Hello again I got this little bundle of joy in the mail the other day from Mary and I am very pleased! I think the watch is extremely well done with the clasp, band, and markings. I had debated on getting this watch for some time due to the movement issues, but I think its worth the risk Anyway, here are some pics..... Thanks for looking! Next on my list is one of GC's watches if he will let me take it off his hands Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buy the one you want then send it off for a graphite treatment most watch smiths will guarantee the movement for at least a year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luthier 1 Posted August 4, 2010 By graphite, do you mean powder lube? No, just stick a few graphite rods from your pencil inside the mov't, gears will ground it to the dust and lubricate themselves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prestigewatchco 2 Posted August 4, 2010 Normally I would say don't bother doing anything until you have a problem the fix is no more work than having the graphite treatment done it needs to be almost completely taken apart to do the treatment and the offending parts in the event of failure will need to be removed for the treatment anyway. that said looking at that watch I am not 100% sure it is an upgrade version with the lightened gears it looks like an earlier version so maybe an idea to get it done sooner rather than later Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
