What kind of watches do you have?

I'll be extra careful with the hands!

I'm guessing the service went pretty smoothly otherwise? Seems pretty straight forward looking at the docs, there's just a LOT of gears due to it being a chronograph

This one runs, but does lose time and some of the hands either don't reset properly or don't move at all. So I am thinking it needs a full clean and lubrication, and the non working hand probably needs a new coil. The pusher is kind of fucky too, but probably just dirty.

A coil is about $10

They want you to use thinner oil than 9010 but I'll probably just use 9010. I do have 8000 which is the correct viscosity, but the service time on that is much shorter.

If it comes down to it (and I fuck up the movement somehow), a new movement is about $100. It would be the newer model too, which has better accuracy and is thermocompensated.

Yeah, It's pretty straight forward. You can try it on a demagnetizer to try to fix the stuck hands. Worked for me a few times on some older junk quartz chronographs

Picked this up for $15 at a random vintage sale this weekend. Caught my eye as I love the mid-century modern shape and typography of the numerals, as well as the lume.

Had to tweak the time adjustment a bit but it seems to be holding time decently well.

I have it on my office desk to keep track of time during work; the loud ticking makes me feel like I am in a Christopher Nolan movie and is quite meditative.
