Saw this in an eBay listing today. OK...
“...very rare cases, movement mechanism of a vintage watch may get stuck while being thrown around in transit. This could cause the watch to stop running. If this is to happen, a "jump start" may become necessary. Here are how to "jump start" a watch: 1. pull crown all the out and turn 2-3 rounds; 2. hold the watch sideways, firmly and repeatedly tap the non-crown side against a wood surface.”

I’ve done this before, although the writer forgot to add two ingredients: “tequila shots and dark beer chaser”.
Kind of a win/win. If it works, that’s great; if it doesn’t you don’t really give two shts..

Hurrah, I can free up some desk space by getting rid of my watch winders. Who knew?
