    It may need just a cleaning. It could also need a new hairspring or balance work. There is a chap in limerick I was recommended by another boardsie. I gather there's also a guy in dublin. I have his contact details written down somewhere. I'll try and dig them out.

    Nice pocket watch BTW. Is there a makers mark anywhere?

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Hi Wibbs,
    Thanks for the reply,if you find the Dublin contact details I would appreciate if you could PM me, The makers name is John Aitken of Dalry in Ayrshire Scotland which is engraved on the movement under the dust cover,it also has matching serial numbers on both the movement and case so is original.
