Auto watch weight rotation time.

I have couple or so auto watches, when given a shake all but one spin for a couple of seconds, but my Monaco turns very little, nothing like the others, all are quiet unless sitting on a hard surface, is this an indication of the oil thickening or is it just a case of ‘vive la differance’ Ta folk.

All my watches are not very old, around a couple of years tops and I have noticed that it differs a lot between movements. My STP movement is like your Monaco, hardly turns. The Ice King spins like a gypsy on cocaine and the BB58 is somewhere in between.

Have you noticed a change with the Monaco and that it turns worse and worse? In that case I suppose a little spa trip and lubrication might not hurt.

Hard to say how it was when new but I noticed how much the others spin when they get put down on a hard surface and then you hear them, watch timekeeping seems ok so I'll just ask when I next pass the AD, thanks Jim.
