: Because the watch will tend to slow down as it

: No. The oil is already evenly distributed. Oils
: used since the 1950s don't have pooling
: problems. Anything else you hear is old
: wives tales based on pre-WWII era
: lubricants.

: No. Opening a water-resistant watch may reduce
: its water-resistance if it is not thoroughly
: pressure checked when closed. Not worth that
: risk for needless adjustments.

: This is a TRIVIAL variation and should NOT BE
: OF CONCERN to you. If it is, then you need a
: quartz watch instead. Be a MAN enough to
: deal with your mechanical watch and its WELL
: WITHIN SPEC performance.

: You will be a lot more relaxed and happy if you
: don't waste time stressing over OVERBLOWN
: and UNFOUNDED thoughts that your PERFECTLY
: PERFORMING watch is somehow not right.
Thanks for your help derek.
