hi everyone,
I bought a vintage watch and i noticed there was a delay a day 50-60 minutes (14-15 hours).
it is ok?. i was ask a watchmaker and he said that ok (Because of the clock 's age , and the weather).
the watch not was on hand like a year+.
what do you think?

 

Welcome!


I think you need another watchmaker.

 

why?

 

+1 on that

 

Have the same watch and never had anything over 20 seconds a day (24hr) and it hasn't been serviced for a long time.

Your watchmaker should be able to get it to similar to mine if not better after a service.

 

if i clean the mechanism of the clock it is work?

 

Are you going to strip it down piece by piece and use one of these



Then put it back together piece by piece after looking at each piece under a microscope for damage.

If not you need a new watchmaker

 

ok . how much this watch worth? can i get a 1000$ for him?

 

No. Much less.

 

I paid $420 unserviced a while back ( yours is solid gold so a bit more ) fairly standard seamaster

 

Welcome. The coment is because a good watchmen would never say that such a loss in time is normal; the watch needs to be serviced.

 

What makes you think it's a him, with that badly refinished face I think is more likely a her.

 

is refinished?

 

Hideously so.

 

How were you thinking of cleaning the movement ?
