: They explain that the quartz itself is
: ageing, and after 10-20 years of service,
: they loose their frequency, and so the watch
: looses its accuracy. Is it true, of just
: someone made it up? Does anyone have any
: experience with quartz movements older than
: 10yrs? I really cannot buy auto, because I
