My next watch on the table is an old Anker Ladies watch that my mother in law gave me. She wanted to throw it away anyway since it is not running anymore. The first thing I found out is that it is the caliber 57/4 built by Uhren-Werk Ersingen (UWERSI) I wasn't able to date the movement. Maybe somewhere in the late 1950's or 1960's. Situation: Fully wound, does not start. Slightly rusty overall condition: requires cleaning and service The first thing I did, after removing the dial was removing the balance wheel and cock. I saw immediately that this will be a challenge for me! In order to clean the stone, I need to remove the hairspring. I wonder it I can to that with my skills. I dipped the entire assembly in Bergeon One-Dip. But I guess this is not sufficient. Your advice is highly appreciated. Cheers Alexander
