Thanks! That's good to know. I can't afford to have it serviced at present, but perhaps sometime down the road I'll be able to. The fact that this watch was special to my grandfather made it special to my father, and that same reasoning makes it even more special to me. It would be nice to see (and hear) it in operation again. I remember the first time it was shown to me, though not with enough detail to remember my exact age. I'm pretty sure it was on my grandfather's birthday when he first received it, and I was probably between 6-8 years of age.

Apologies to Harald, I didn't intend to derail your original question. But thanks for bringing this up! It provided an opportunity for me to learn a bit more about a family keepsake.
