··understands the decision making hierarchyF FalcomIt has been about 33 years since it was cleaned. However I've only worn it occasionally through the years.
By the way, Thank You for joining us! We love old watches and people that love old watches.

·I'll take your advise but it's running right now. I usually only wear it a few times a year but I'll try to find a good watch maker to have it cleaned. Do you recommend trying to find someone local or sending it to someone?
I love old watches and have quit a few. The one I sold years ago is really wish I'd kept was a late 1950's Blancpain Aqua Lung. I'm also a Gruen collector. I think they are excellent watches and you can get them at reasonable prices.
Thanks for the advice.

In some ways the old cars and watches are similar.
Local service with face to face is always more favorable but not always what is best. I really liked the old guy you mentioned but I bet he is retired. Give us some idea what parts of the world you are frequenting and we might have some thoughts.
We have Al @Archer and other wonderful watchmakers that share with us and maybe we can get some professional advice (I wouldn't want to try pulling that stem tube out of the case without some advice).

I'm located in Kentucky if you know of any good watch makers around here I would appreciate it.
I really hate to ship this watch because it's not replaceable being that it was my grandfather's.

Is it normal to have to pull a little hard on the stem to get the movement out?
Thanks
Travis

·The key is the A. Sometimes the M. Usually if there are two levels on the dial, the seconds subdial has discontinuous lines. However if the dial has a single level, we can observe two continuous lines in a cross-like shape.
