I should add that I didn't let them do the work. I paid the $8 shipping and put it in the drawer. I still carry it on occasion, but I've got plenty more and it will wait until I can do the work. I'd been warned that it might be pricey, and I told the lady that anything under $200 they could just go ahead and do it, but if it was more than $200 to give me a call first. I have a feeling that someone might have gotten a little greedy, because she sure seemed a little testy when I told her no, I'll just come get it. What's another $50 on $200, right? Enough to be the difference, lol. I read another guy's comments online and he said that any time he wants a watch repaired he tells them to clean it and oil it, even if he knows it needs more work than that, and he gets repair work done real reasonably. He said he thinks that if you take one in and say "it's broken, fix it", they figure they have a sucker and will charge accordingly. But it is true that most watches that don't run just need cleaned and oiled, as long as the balance is okay, and that's fairly easy to check yourself. There are online videos of how to look for a bad balance. You see lots of watches advertised as "overwound", but that's actually about impossible to do. When they're fully wound, you can't wind them any further without breaking them. Most "overwound" watches are just fully wound and need serviced to free them up so the balance can oscillate and the pallet fork can move freely.
