Look at this amazing movement. Caliber 552 from my 1959 Omega Seamaster refrence 14745.1.SC. The watch had not been opened in approximately 59 years. Required a little cleaning and is ticking beautifully.
Hopefully that's from before service and after that it was fully disassembled, cleaned, and lubricated...people should really keep their grubby fingers off the movements...
If I based it on how often I see people posting photos like the one above, you would think it's almost a requirement...
If that's you doing the work, then take this as a learning opportunity and get yourself some finger cots. If that's not you doing the service, then you should find another watchmaker. In any case, I'll continue to call out bad practices when I see them...
As there is a good chance of you being imminently tossed OF overboard, good your avatar shows you are already at your assigned muster station and wearing a life jacket.
Psst....noob @Archer is a particularly respected member of this site. And all of us have had a chance to be on his wrong side. Every time with me, he was right and I was grateful to find out I had been wrong. Even the times where I felt a little stupid afterwards.
If you have nothing correct to do on your caliber, then leave it in the watch. Good thing there isn't a test to choose screen names or you never would have been allowed to select Watch Guy. Maybe "Smudgy" would have been accepted.
Archer, find a real job. You seem to think you know everything. I would equate your knowledge as a big ZERO.
I'll start the countdown. I wonder what Watch Guy's old screen name was? He might need to create another one soon.
