Why has my watch stopped working?? This is a question some of you may ask and this video can help you answer this question if it is a mechanical watch. Mechanical watches need a service every 5-7 years although they can run for longer without problems it is just good practice to service. Think of your car would you drive around without ever changing the oil??
In this video I disassemble this rather retro Seiko from 1973 which has stopped working. What we find inside is no surprise really but it highlights what aged oil does to a movement. This video will also help people wanting to service their own watches by showing them what to look out for and now cleaning is vitally important if you want the watch to run smoothly when assembled.
