Today a customer brought me a late-production Bulova Accutron he bought on Ebay for examination, whether it works or not. Looks like he didn't even know what tuning-forks were.

So I replace the West-German (obviously dead by now) mercury-oxide battery with a new silver-oxide one, give the watch a light whack against the workbench and it starts right up.

He asked me whether it needs a service, I told him it won't hurt, but there's only probably one or two watchmakers in the country who can service tuning-forks, and I can't responsibly take it in for service, as I've never done it either.

Anyway it was the first Accutron I've seen someone have irl, apart from mine, a Citizen Hisonic clone, pic related. I've won two more Hisonics on Buyee, I'll be servicing those, so if I fuck up I'll still have a working one.

What's the point in having all that accuracy if I keep shutting it down?

This motherfucker btw eats a big SR43 in eight months, nigga.
