Re: PO winding
In Response To: Re: PO winding ()

: I don't know about a "professional"
: opinion, but I can give you my input based
: on what I've read over the years. It had
: been recommended that older automatic
: watches always be kept wound because the
: older lubricants that were used in them
: could coagulate if the internal parts
: weren't kept moving. This could cause the
: watch to stop running altogether.

When a watch has a "full service treatment", will the old lubricant be replaced by (1) old-style lubricant, (2) new (modern) lubricant, or (3) will the watch be forever married to the original lubricant?
