[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 528728, member: 25"]The Waterbury timepiece is a cheaper version of the well known French design, made for the domestic US market. It may cost more than it is worth to have any work done, but just by using it it may become more 'lively', if it has not been run for a long time old oil can gum up the spring, but runiing it down and winding it again may improve this. Try this first. This applies to any long neglected watch or clock.[/QUOTE]
