It was serviced at the NY RSC in early 1995 and put it up and never wound or worn when it came back from service. It was stored for over 15 years unused until it was given to me at the end of 2009. I ran it for two weeks and it lost ~50 seconds. I’m told it should be cleaned and oiled because the oil is most likely dry. The reserve is over 48 hours.
I’m told it should be cleaned and oiled before it is run for any extended period of time. Do the standard service parts really need to be replaced? Seems like a waste to replace a clean crystal, unused mainspring, crown and tube. Seals I’m sure should be replaced.
