Some things need a bit more attention.... particularly older things!

The Longines watch I sent in for repair is not just working to it's best. The wind up and running of the watch is superb. The problem is with the auto winder reverse wheel which seems to be causing the watch not to be receiving enough power to run let alone create the required 40hr pwer reserve.

Ebay was a place I could find parts...with some luck and I decided on a nigh on full movement purchase rather than just the "bit" I needed. The cost seemed Ok and at least i have spares now.

I will send the watch back as Christian kindly offered to fix the watch with the new part.

I need to find the time to package the watch and parts up and hope for the best.
