One for roughbarked. My citizen runs fast when it is dirty(problem was fixed last time by jeweller cleaning it). Would it be easier to get him to do it for 25 or can it cleaned relatively easily?

i like to know how to look after my things and it would be interesting. the money doesn’t bother me

Your in Brissie aren’t you? I take mine to a fella in Strathpine.

$25?
There was a time when I overhauled watches for $4.50 but that was a long long time ago..
Depends on the watch but one could hardly get much done for $50. Omega charge something like $300.

My Casio is 24 years old and has run fast for at least 20 years. I thought it was an inherent problem with the counting of quartz crystal pulsations, too low a count. But could it just be that it needs cleaning?

Look.. Quite simply There is a lot more to the problem than cleaning or there isn’t.

A mechanical watch may run fast for numerous reasons. Mostly it is about oil. Either being in the right place or not though it can also be about oil being in the wrong place. The point is that there is no point adding oil without first cleaning the old oil off.

A quartz watch running fast may be about needing to be cleaned and re-oiled but usually it is because there is a problem with the circuit.
