Vintage GP Gyromatic
Hi,
I need some help with my vintage GP. Whenever I shake my watch to wind it (it's an automatic) I can hear a rattling sound coming from inside the watch. Is this normal? Also, it doesn't keep time real well. Even though I shake it quite a bit, it will stop running within a couple hours. I'm hoping it may just need to be oiled. It say in a safe deposit box for many years. Any help you can give me would be appreciated. Please send any comments to my email as I do not often check the board.
Thanks,
Bret Andorf
