Horological Meandering

I have good new to report....After calling around,and finding there were no longer any "Watchmakers" in the neighborhood.

I had relented to the idea that I was going to have to,send my watch off,to even have a simple look see,at what could be the problem...Doing some exploring on my own,I came up with a jewelery store,about 35 miles away,that indeed did,have it's own in house version of a watchmaker..

Two of them as a matter of fact... Under the same roof.Come to find out,the store is owned by a watchmaker,and his dad,had taught classes,for over 40 years,at the local college.

The short of it all is..... For the store charge of $10.00.... I had found out and had corrected a over oiled,stuck together Hairspring....The demagnetizing was also done just to say I did while there.......

Yes sir..... $10.00..... I gladly gave the man a Twenty.... and said Thank you.....

Please keep the change.........

This bumps my total cost up,for this watch to a tiny, $294.00 ........

So my GST 7750,is ticking away.

It seems happy,and I seems Happy....

Again thanks to all for your help,and advice...

I don't think I ever did post as to just what what model I was having this running fast problem with,so here's the particulars..

"Wenger GST Sea Series Aqua Master Automatic" ( 78189 ) Discontinued.

All Screwdown .. Crown,Pushers,Case Back... 300M... 1000FT ........

12hr Valjoux 7750,Day/Date.

This is a P.S.

I do not have a camera per se.

So two photos are from stock,the not so good one,was taken with my internet cam.

Have any of you,that may own a Wenger product,noticed how the Wenger Swiss logo,lumes in just the right low subdued light...

I had never noticed this,till I saw it in the photo I took.

Low light like maybe a street light across the street.

Hardly enough direct light to read the dial by,but it will light up that Logo...... Like a stop sign. neat huh...
