Gold watch?

[huffmnd]

This talk of acid personally makes me nervous! I deal a lot with antiques sometimes watches. This might be a good old boy trick here in Tennessee but it has always worked for me. Try using fishing reel oil, you can get it just about anywhere you can buy fishing supplies. It is made for oiling up fishing reels and it's good to loosen them up too if they are all gunked up. It doesn't only have oil in it but some acid too and it won't harm your metallic pieces that you use it on and it will loosen them up and get a lot of the build up off. I wouldn't want to burn something up with acid when you might want to err on the side of caution and take it slow with this.

My dear friends, with great sorrow I have to inform you that the patient didn't resist the treatment with vinegar. After a long battle the watch finaly gave up, the colour turned pinkish and that's it. Time of death? Who knows, the hands are long gone.

Hey Mihai, My Condolences on the watch. Death by vinegar, what a way to go.[sm=lol.gif]

Your a funny guy.[8D]
