can't comment on your tags issues but if its a really old watch the battery could have leaked into the case at some point. best to remove batteries if one retires a quartz or replace the movement alltogether. i 'serviced' and old faithful tag 1000 4 years ago on advisement and it went through batteries like a hummer goes through gas afterwards. prior to the 'service' i was told to do when all i wanted was a battery, it was perfect. i can't explain what the tech did to it but its never been the same. i'm planning on swapping the entire mech next year. lesson learned, question old german/czech watchmakers even though you may not feel right doing so. lol...
