Bought a vintage watch, and then what?

I remember the Ronsonol and Zippo smell from the early days when I was primarily into pocket watches, "recently serviced" on eBay. We live and learn.

It goes back way further than Ebay for me, that was the trick they used back in the 80s when I first got into watches. I bought my first pocket watch at the ripe old age of 14. And that was a LONG time ago...

Serviced on eBay is as good as Pompe oiling the rotor on an auto movement.

Now where was that video you posted in HF1.

oh yes I experience the same way like you all. more worse are some ppl calling their self master of watch making and selling cheap services on ebay. I send their ones a movement for service, as I starr this hobby. after 6 times I send it their again, the movement never works well and I decided to get me all I needed for it, studdy about it and do it my self. the good think was I only paid the cost to send 6 times to him.
My conclusion since that, every use or old movement I buy for ebay I give a new service

Great way to scare the rest of us who lack the skills and talent. I wear all of my watches, especially the vintage ones. Luckily for me, most of my watches get serviced by Unreformed.
