Bought this watch as non running and it was not running when I got it.  Took a gamble that it was mechanically sound and that the oil had gummed up.  Balance staff was good and the oil had dried leaving it so thick the watch would not run.  I was lucky this time.  Got it go for about 10 minutes and then it would stop.  Took the autowind unit off to see what was keeping it from running.  Gruen Watch Co Precision, 17 jewels, unadjusted, Swiss, 462 SS, Autowind Veri-Thin.
