Reply To: how many jewels in my watch

Show,
I am currendly working on a wristwatch that would run for a few minutes and then stop. I would rock the watch back and forth and it would start again and then stop. After pulling the movement out of the case and looking at it under a microscope I noticed that there was no lubrication on the balance wheel pivots, or any of the other pivots for that matter. This may not be the problem with your watch but it would be a good place to start looking.
Did you ever get your demabnatizer working?
