  1. On of my customers has over 200 watches all gen from seiko up to some expensive ones. He just keeps it a secret from his wife and when he gets a new one he has to make it look similar to one he has to get it into the house. This game of watches is quite addicting. For myself, I have over 30 and all has its place somewhere and more will come for sure.

  2. My watchmaker "26 years in the business (2nd generation following father and 6 brothers all watch makers)"

    He gets customers all the time that after he told them it needs to clean and overhauled, take the watch get wd40 spray it into the watch and say it's running fine!

    Seen some others with quick fixes that blow a type of material into the watch and the watch begins to go again.

    There are a lot of inexperienced people out there working in people's watches.

  3. If you haven't figured out the reason is it could be from the rotor bridge. If that gets out of shape it could make the rotor go backwards rather then the normal way. I have seen this when working on the backwards goofy watch. If I switch the positions of the rotor bridge it will go forwards rather than backwards. That can possibly be your reason. If you dropped the watch hard enough to get that part out of shape. I have seen that once in the last 7 years. That this has occurred and it was on the same movement.
