Running it down and rewinding it a few times tends to polish away the dried oil in the spring between the leaves that is causing the problem.</p><p><br /></p><p>No improvement after&nbsp; a week, then try to find a repairer.</p><p><br /></p><p>Avoid jeweller&#039;s shops, they will simply send it to a local repairer to do the actual work and charge you at least twice what they are charged.
