I grabbed this watch and it runs fine, BUT, it randomly stops a gentle tap brings it back to life. Two things:

First, the watch seems to be wound too tightly and hasn’t unwound at all (about a weeks time).

Second, the stem would fall out. I noticed the screw holding down the stem was loose so I tightened it. Seems to run “longer” in between the random stops.

  Will do. Funny it doesn’t have a makers name.

  Andygsi said he was done after last week and think old hippy has gone the same way😞. I'll miss both of them, especially the old fella.

  Hello from the great state of Tennessee. I live just a couple of miles from the geographical center of Tennessee so when I say that I live in middle Tennessee, it's the truth. Over the past couple of years I have really grown to love Hamilton pocket watches. Specifically the RR lever set ones. I have about 20 Hamiltons & most of them are 21 jewel RR watches. One of these days I'm gonna dive in & see if I can take one apart, clean & reassemble it. The 940's I have are too beautiful for me to risk destroying so I plan on getting a running cheap movement to experiment on. I am looking forward to reading & learning about the process of watch repair. I'm happy to be here!

  There's a really nice app for detecting magnetism, which is much more reliable than a compass; it's named "Magnetized Wristwatch Checker":
