Greetings WRT members! I am a new member, and I have taken up watch repairing very recently. I am, however very inexperienced! I live in Wirral, which is on Merseyside in the North West of England. I have a Seiko 5 Automatic which will only run if it is flat on its back! when picked up and put on my wrist, it runs for maybe 5 seconds and stops. I'll remove the watch, give it a small shake and put it down and it will run quite happily until the spring runs down. This is usually about 12-20 hours. I am reluctant to strip the watch myself, as I'm inexperienced. Would cleaning the movement in alcohol do more harm than good? Should I give it to a watchsmith for attention? I would appreciate any comments from more experienced members.
