A client recently sent me his watch, explaining that he had already taken it to another "watchmaker" twice, yet the issue persisted—the watch still wouldn't run while he was wearing it. Two signatures from same month and year in the caseback...

Upon inspection, the reason for the malfunction is immediately apparent. I can only imagine the condition of the Barrel's interior at this point!

This was a difficult watch to start with. Broken crystal, gummed up train, pivots needing some attention... and the upward tilt of the hairspring four coils into the hairspring...

Thanks to a great teacher and mentors tackling such a hairspring repair was quite easy. Six years ago it would have been 30 minutes trying to do this. Today. One look. Two grabs. One slight bend. And the amplitude jumped 20 degrees immediately.

Following a barrel arbor to barrel and cap polishing... this watch is tapping at 290 degrees and keeps amazing time well over 36 hours.

Finally a new crystal and strap...

I cannot find an actual canvas strap like the original but today's nylon will outlast this watch.

"This is never the sight you want to encounter when opening a caseback. There are proper methods for creating a caseback mold and custom movement spacers. Additionally, the gentleman mentioned that his previous watchmaker would simply sprinkle oil inside his watch."
