    This had been in and out if the watchmaker for the past 2 years and hardly had a good week of wearing. Hope this time it will last longer!

    I am sure it was filled up before I took this watch into my hands.

    As a watchmaker myself, just wondered how the jewel above the balance staff could have moved... That's an excuse, not a scenario, to me. sounds like the watch saw more than one watchmaker during this repair :-///

    Most of the 321 around are battered up beyond any reasonable hope. Recently even some few in great cosmetic conditions turned out to be quite poor from a mechanical standpoint.

    I saw the movement first hand, I think it was just tardy job, the watch was pretty beaten up when I first acquired it. When I first acquired watches I wanted to learn the dark art of watch making but after toying with old lady's movement I gave up the idea and let someone else do my job. I just have to put my trust to them.
    This time I think he finally got it right. Thank god so far.
